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.
In addition to snow-covered roadways, the light, powdery state of the snow has made conditions even more dangerous. Gusty winds are blowing snow across highways, reducing visibility, while icy patches are expected to develop in parts of the region, according to the forecast.

Level 3 Snow Emergency
Extremely hazardous conditions exist due to ice, blowing, and drifting snow. Low visibility, dangerously cold temperatures, and worsening road conditions are major concerns.
