TUPELO ⢠There were around 100 18-wheelers stacked up east of Fulton early Tuesday morning, waiting for traffic along an ice-slick Interstate 22 to clear enough to get through.
With ice still covering roadways throughout Northeast Mississippi Tuesday, traffic was ground to a halt across the region, especially in hilly areas. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing until Wednesday, when a third round of precipitation is being predicted, so emergency officials donât expect conditions to improve in the immediate future.
Calhoun County Sheriff Greg Pollan said his deputies had to rescue about 10 stranded motorists, Monday, and asked people to stay off the roads if at all possible.
