​Emergency officials are encouraging all Edmonson County residents to limit your travel if possible as slick spots are becoming more prevalent around the county.

"With already wet roads, icy spots are very difficult to see," said Sheriff Shane Doyle. "Please use caution and common sense when traveling today and tonight. It's also a good idea to have a flashlight, a charged cellphone, and plenty of warm clothes if you plan to be out. It would be best if you can stay put, but if not, please slow down and be very careful."
