Lincoln County, TN – Drivers across Lincoln County are being urged to use extra caution today as snow and ice create potentially hazardous road conditions, particularly during early morning and evening hours.
According to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, changing winter weather conditions may impact roadways throughout the county, increasing the risk of slick surfaces and reduced traction. Deputies say even untreated secondary roads could become dangerous as temperatures fluctuate.
Officials are advising motorists to slow down, increase following distance, and avoid unnecessary travel if conditions worsen. Law enforcement says these precautions are especially important during peak commute times when visibility may be lower and road surfaces colder.
“Snow and ice can make travel hazardous,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a public advisory posted Wednesday. Deputies are actively monitoring road conditions and will provide updates as needed if conditions deteriorate further.
Lincoln County sits in south-central Tennessee near the Alabama state line, where winter weather systems can bring quick changes in road safety. The area includes rural routes and county roads that may not see immediate treatment during icy conditions.
Emergency officials stress that drivers who must be on the roads should allow extra travel time and remain alert for sudden slick spots, especially on bridges, shaded areas, and higher elevations.
Residents are encouraged to stay weather-aware throughout the day and check for any additional updates from local authorities before heading out.
