From Butler County Engineer's Office:
The Butler County Sheriff may
declare a 'snow emergency' and temporarily close county and township
roads.
There are three (3) levels of snow emergency classifications for roads in Butler County:
LEVEL 1: Roadways are hazardous with blowing and drifting snow. Roads may also be icy. Drive very cautiously.
LEVEL
2: Roadways are hazardous with blowing and drifting snow. Only those
who feel it is necessary to drive should be out on the roads. Contact
your employer to see if you should report to work.
LEVEL 3: All
roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. No one should be out
during these conditions unless it is absolutely necessary to travel or
a personal emergency exists. All employees should contact their
employer to see if they should report to work. Those traveling on the
roads may subject themselves to arrest.
The media is immediately
notified by the Sheriff whenever a snow emergency is declared.
Motorists are encouraged to monitor the Butler County Sheriff's web
site or local media outlets for initial notifications plus any changes
in the designated level of the snow emergency.
These are just guidelines for the roads in Butler County. Drive safely and use caution in all winter weather situations.
