Boone County, Kentucky has announced an upgrade to a Level Two Snow Emergency, effective from Sunday, January 5 at 3:30 p.m. This change indicates that roadways are extremely hazardous due to accumulated or blowing snow and possible icy conditions. As a result, only essential travel is advised.
Earlier in the day, county officials had declared a Level One snow emergency. The escalation to Level Two includes a request for residents to move parked vehicles off the roads to facilitate the work of snowplows in clearing the snow more efficiently.
Tom Logan, Public Works Director for Boone County, stated, “We’re still seeing quite a few cars parked on roadways. It does significantly slow us down and creates issues for owners trying to clear vehicles out of snow.”
Residents are advised to contact their employers regarding work attendance as this emergency does not restrict travel related to employment.
A Level Two Snow Emergency specifies that road conditions are extremely hazardous due to snow and/or ice and advises against non-essential travel.
