Understanding Ohio Snow Emergency Levels

In Ohio, the Sheriff’s Office determines the “Level” of a snow emergency. This often dictates whether schools will choose to close or delay.

Level	Meaning for Travel
Level 1	Roads are hazardous with ice or drifting snow. Drive with caution.
Level 2	Roads are extremely hazardous. Only those who deem it necessary should be out.
Level 3	Roads are closed to all non-emergency personnel. No one should be driving.

Pro-Tip: Most Central Ohio schools, including Columbus City Schools and surrounding suburban districts (Dublin, Westerville, Olentangy), aim to make a final decision by 5:45 AM to give parents enough time to make childcare arrangements.
