Update:

A level two or three snow emergency could be declared by Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn depending on the snowfall and wind.

 As the storm is to become worse by 10 p.m. tonight, the county will be keeping their eye on its progress to determine when to call it, be it later tonight or early Wednesday morning, Wasylyshyn said.

 The weather is not severe enough for a level three to be considered yet.

 A level one emergency is declared when the roads may be icy and warns drivers to be cautious. A level two is declared when the roads are considered hazardous and urges drivers to drive when they feel it is necessary, according to the Sheriff’s website.

The city is declaring a snow emergency earlier than usual due to the large amount of snowfall projected to hit the area by 10 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

Usually a snow emergency is declared when snow reaches a depth of 2 inches, according to city snow removal guidelines.

Another 1 to 3 inches is expected to fall before 4 p.m. Wednesday, according to NWS forecasts.
