With heavy snowfall on the way, officials want to remind you about the snow emergency levels for township and county roads within the sheriff’s jurisdiction.
The sheriff issues these snow emergencies that range from level 1 to level 3. Level 1 means that roadways are hazardous with blowing and drifting snow, or icy and motorists should drive cautiously. Level 2 snow emergencies are hazardous roadways that could be very icy and slippery, and only those who feel it is necessary to drive should be on the roads. Level 3 is when all roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel, and no one should be driving unless it is an emergency. The sheriff would like to remind motorists to slow down when roads get bad.
Sheriff Matt Treglia, Allen County Sheriff said, “What I can say to the public is please slow down, please take your time, and we got to give the Engineer office enough time and enough space to get this snow cleared out if it should come that way.”
A winter storm warning is in effect from Wednesday until Friday morning.
