Reeves said crews continue to work on road clearing efforts and advised residents to avoid travel unless necessary. The governor emphasized the importance of staying informed through official channels.
Mississippi has experienced widespread snow, ice, and cold temperatures since the storm system moved through earlier this week. Authorities reported multiple road closures and power outages, with crews working to restore services.
Reeves reminded residents to prepare emergency supplies and check on vulnerable neighbors during the winter storm. State officials continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as needed.
