Huron County, OH – Drivers across Huron County are being urged to use caution Saturday afternoon after officials issued a Level 1 Winter Road Advisory due to hazardous road conditions caused by snow and ice.
According to the Huron County Sheriff’s Office, the Level 1 advisory was issued at approximately 2:56 p.m. Saturday, indicating that while travel is still permitted, roadways may be slick and dangerous in spots. Motorists are advised to reduce speeds, increase following distances, and allow extra time to reach their destinations.
A Level 1 advisory is the lowest of three winter road advisory levels used in Ohio, but it still signals increased risk for drivers—especially on untreated secondary roads, bridges, and rural routes. Authorities emphasize that conditions can change quickly as temperatures fluctuate or snowfall intensifies.
The advisory applies throughout Huron County, located west of Cleveland and south of Sandusky in north-central Ohio. Law enforcement officials say crews are monitoring conditions and will issue updates if road conditions worsen or if a higher advisory level becomes necessary.
Drivers heading out this evening or overnight should remain alert for icy patches, particularly after sunset when temperatures drop. Officials also recommend keeping headlights on, avoiding sudden braking, and carrying winter emergency supplies when possible.
Residents are encouraged to check local conditions before traveling and to monitor official updates from the Huron County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio Department of Transportation.
