In Marion County, all the roads are expected to be passable by Saturday night. Judge Jason Stumph says crews will then return Monday morning to make certain all of the snow is off the roadways.

As of Saturday afternoon, IDriveArkansas.com was showing Arkansas Highway 5 with ice patches throughout Stone County.  Most of the other major highways in the area are clear.

The Missouri Department of Transportation’s traveler information map showed Missouri Highway 5 was mostly clear throughout Ozark and Douglas counties, and U.S. Highway 160 was mostly clear from Gainesville and continuing east through Howell County.  Missouri Highway 14 was covered from Ava, continuing northwest to Dogwood.
