Avoid unnecessary trips Wednesday-Friday

The Ohio Department of Transportation is preparing for a major winter storm and urging Ohioans to avoid unnecessary trips Wednesday through Friday, February 2-4.

In northern Ohio, crews are preparing for significant amounts of snow. Some forecasts are calling for over a foot of snow with blowing and drifting conditions due to high winds.

ODOT Director Jack Marchbanks warns, “Even with our crews out in full force, roads will likely be snow and ice-covered, and it will take much longer to travel. Once the storm moves out, our crews will be able to make progress toward getting traffic moving at regular speed."

Ada Schools are on a 2-hour delay on Wednesday, January 26.

 

The Ada Exempted Village Schools made the following announcement at 8:57 p.m. on Monday:

Ada Schools will be on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, January 25.
