Winter weather took Crenshaw County by storm, making roads in central and south Alabama impassable from Tuesday into Thursday morning.

The Luverne Journal is ready to get into the hands of our readers, but with roads iced over and freezing temperatures overnight, our delivery personnel are unable to get them out for delivery. Postal services are impacted, too, and that means subscribers will see a delay in their newspaper delivery.

Melting snow and temperatures in the teens Wednesday night has left ice on the roadways and bridges. Out of an abundance of caution and care for those we depend on to get the newspaper safely to our readers, delivery has been delayed until roads are opened for travel.

With newspapers printed and ready for you, we are eager to get them out and will do so as soon as possible as conditions improve. Look for updates on our social media page.

This article will be updated once the papers are out for delivery.
