What The Road Snow Warning Levels Mean

With 8 inches of snow expected over the next two days, it is likely that local roads will get covered in snow. Because of this local sheriff offices issue road snow warnings. The warnings are Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.

According to the Erie County Sherriff’s Office the levels mean,

Level 1 Roadways are hazardous due to accumulated snow or ice. Drive cautiously.

Level 2 Roadways are hazardous due to blowing and drifting snow and/or ice cover. Only those who believe it is necessary to drive should be on the roadways. Contact your employer to determine if you should report to work.

Level 3 Roadways are closed to all non-emergency travel due to extremely hazardous conditions. No one should be on the roadway unless it is absolutely essential to travel. Those operating vehicles on the roadway for non-emergency reasons may be subject to arrest.
