(01-22-2025) LAFOURCHE PARISH – Parish officials are reminding residents that a curfew is still in effect and will remain in effect until sometime on Thursday. Residents are asked to continue to shelter in place and stay off the roadways to keep roadways open for emergency personnel to respond to emergencies. Those traveling home from outside of the parish or changing shifts at a hospital will be allowed to do so, but they are encouraged to do so during daylight hours and before temperatures drop below freezing if possible. All businesses should remain closed until the curfew is lifted on Thursday.
Snow on the roadway has begun to melt, and this will result in refreezing of the roadways tonight when temperatures fall. This will create extremely hazardous conditions. Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies will strictly enforce curfew after sundown when temperatures drop.
After the curfew is lifted on Thursday, residents are still encouraged to only travel if absolutely necessary due to continued hazardous roadway conditions.
