  I would agree, but I think the OT is one of the heaviest traveled in the country, so I'm not so certain they would do it.
  Erie County also a level 3, since 6 AM,  I believe from monitoring scanner traffic that all the roads in the southern townships are impassable at this time, and what little I have heard from Sandusky county agencies, would indicate the same.
  Stay warm!
context: I live in this area, can see the 'pike from my house, no traffic, still not moving.
  What a mess, scanner traffic was insane
  This section of the turnpike is insane in a winter storm, mostly flat open fields on both sides.
  From Sandusky to Toledo, it's all open flat area and the snow just swirls and rolls, whiteouts are common.
  Update 10am: 
  Ohio turnpike still closed between Exit 118 US  250/Sandusky Both directions, and eastbound at Exit 91/ SR 53/ Sandusky.
  I've lived here for 33 years and the 'pike is about 1/8 mile from my house, and this is only time I have never seen any traffic on it for this long.
  Also, diverted traffic is being rerouted to surface roads, as they are in equally bad shape.
  Kind of eerie.
  The real heroes of the day are anyone who is required to be out in this mess, LEO, EMS, tow trucks and very importantly, the road crews.
  Thank you to all. >
  
  Sandusky County has been in a level 3 snow emergency all day. No one is even allowed to be on the road unless it's a life threatening emergency that you need to be on the road for. It's not worth risking your life to get to Christmas parties or family today or even tomorrow. Christmas can always be celebrated at a later date.
  OHDOT really should have closed the turnpike for the weekend. Northern Plains states do all the time.
