Snow Emergency Levels in Cuyahoga County

Ohio law puts the declaration in the hands of each county sheriff, who may declare a snow emergency and temporarily close the state roads and municipal streets in the county when that is reasonably necessary to preserve the public peace. A level declared for Cuyahoga County applies to that county and stops at its line — the county next door can be at a different level, or at none. ORC § 311.07 and § 311.08

Cuyahoga County uses the three levels Ohio's sheriffs share: level 1 means the roads are hazardous and to drive very cautiously, level 2 that only those who feel it is necessary to drive should be out, and level 3 that the roads are closed to everyone but emergency personnel. The full wording of all three.

Ohio's sheriffs word the three levels alike; these are quoted from their common text. The level in force at any moment is declared and posted by the county sheriff, and this page does not carry it.
