Sunday brought a surprisingly heavy snowstorm to the Fulton area. A narrow band of clouds dumped tons of snow on the city while leaving areas just north of the city line almost untouched.
The City of Fulton and Town of Hannibal have issued a travel advisory, effective until 7:00am Monday 01/17/11. The City of Fulton DPW Commissioner Dan O’Brien and Hannibal Highway Superintendent Dan Mahaney have requested no unnecessary travel due to hazardous road conditions from the recent heavy snowfall.
Residents are asked to stay off the highways and are reminded to remove their vehicles from the streets, to ensure snow removal operations can take place without obstruction. This is a travel advisory only, not a Snow Emergency.
