Press and media

Use it in your coverage
- Live maps: the Ohio snow emergency map and the Indiana travel advisory map update by themselves. You may show screenshots on air or online with the credit below.
- Widget: put the live status of any county or city in your article or weather page with the free widget.
- Data: current statuses as JSON, CC BY 4.0, described on How we collect data.
- History: each county and city page lists recent snow emergencies, and we can share season figures on request.
How to cite
"Source: Snow Emergency Levels (snowemergencylevels.com), from [official source]", for example the county sheriff's office. Please name the official source too: we only relay what officials declare.
Good to know
- We are an independent website, not affiliated with any government agency. Declarations are made by sheriffs, county emergency management agencies and cities, not by us.
- Every page shows when we last checked the official source. If we cannot confirm a status recently, the page says "Status unknown" instead of showing an old one.
