What Ohio’s Snow Emergency Levels Mean - Page 3
A handful counties across Ohio remain under Level 2 and Level 3 snow emergencies following the weekend winter storm. Hazardous road conditions are still ongoing despite clean up efforts, so residents are urged to limit travel unless absolutely necessary.
