On Behalf of the Boone County Judge-Executive’ Office, Boone County has declared a Level Two Snow Emergency.
A “Level Two” snow emergency is defined as: roadways are hazardous with accumulations of ice and/or blowing and drifting snow. Only motorists whose travel is absolutely necessary should be on the roadways. Citizens are urged to contact their employer to determine whether they should report to work.
During snow emergencies, where snowfall is 2” or greater, it will be required that motor vehicles not be parked or abandoned on streets or roadways, as to impede the removal of snow or ice. Vehicles parked in cul–de–sacs may be trapped by piles of snow and ice as roadways are cleared or may be towed.
