The Door County Sheriff’s Department and the Door County Highway Department are offering the same advice if you are thinking about driving during the storm that begins Saturday night and lasts through Monday morning: Don’t.

The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning early Friday afternoon that will not expire until Monday at 4 p.m. Total snow accumulations could reach between 28 and 35 inches, accompanied by wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour.

Travel could be very difficult to impossible, with areas of blowing snow that could significantly reduce visibility and impact commutes through Monday morning.

As a result, the Door County Sheriff’s Department has issued a tow ban from 9 p.m. Saturday until 8 a.m. Monday. While sheriff’s deputies will be able to help you get out of your vehicle if it ends up in a ditch, it will have to stay there until after the tow ban expires.

During the height of the storm, the Door County Sheriff’s Department may prioritize emergency calls involving blocked roads, fallen trees and downed power lines, which could affect response times.

The Door County Highway Department also echoed its request from Friday morning, asking residents to stay off the road during the storm. Calling Friday’s snowstorm a test run, the department said it will have a crew out in full force Sunday to try to keep state highways and county roads as clear as possible during the storm.

Due to limited staff, only a few workers will stay on overnight to ensure emergency response vehicles have access.

The Door County Emergency Management Department will provide updates throughout the weekend on whether warming shelters will open if additional power outages occur.
