City Of Stow: Storm Update: Travel To Remain Difficult Through Tuesday

Press release from the City of Stow:

2022-01-17

Stow, OH – (January 17, 2022 – 2:00pm) We appreciate everyone’s patience as we continue to weather this storm that has brought upwards of 20 inches of snow to our community in less than 24 hours. This storm will continue to have impact on travel tonight and into tomorrow. Our main roads are passable yet still need work to clear all lanes. Crews are starting to move toward the neighborhood streets, which will need several passes. It is going to take TIME!

The emergency parking ban remains in effect until further notice. Thank you for your adherence to this ban.

We hope all of our residents are safe and warm. We have seen and heard of so many instances of neighbors helping neighbors, and we couldn’t be more proud of our community! We are truly in this together!
