Question

I am under a level 3 snow emergency what does that mean?

Answer 1

It means, first of all, that is sounds like you are in the Ohio/Cleveland area.

:)

Snow emergencies mean that many businesses maybe closed, they are TRYING to keep the main roads open but secondary and back streets may not be plowed.  It is basically a statement that its best to stay home unless its a MAJOR emergency.

Snow removal is so bad at this time that they have to keep cars out of the path of snow removal equipment, including cars that get stuck, stall, or die in the road.  They are warning you so that you dont go out, so you dont get a ticket and your car impounded when its towed.

Answer 2

Answer 4

Google your state's Emergency Management Agency.

Heavy snowfalls can cause damage or collapse of buildings and other structures.

Take the necessary precautions to protect yourself from the effects and aftermath of a heavy snowfall.

Answer 10

All roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. No one should be out during these conditions unless it is absolutely necessary to travel. All employees should contact their employer to see if they should report to work. Those traveling on the roadways may subject themselves to arrest.

If the level is 3 then you should only drive to work if you are absolutely needed or have a job that is considered emergency related like a nurse, firefighter, or police.
