Snow emergencies lifted after heavy snow hits southwest Ohio

The majority of snow emergencies were lifted Tuesday afternoon or evening. As of Wednesday morning, no snow emergencies remained in effect.

A Level 1 snow emergency means roads are dangerous with drifting and/or blowing snow. Streets could also be icy. Motorists are advised to drive cautiously.

A Level 2 emergency means only those who feel it is necessary to drive should be on the roads. Individuals should speak to their employers if they still need to come into work.

A Level 3 snow emergency closes roads to non-emergency personnel. No one should be on the roads unless it is necessary to travel. People should contact their employers to see if they need to report to work.
