Belmont County continues recovery after a heavy winter storm left roads hazardous and communities digging out. The county lowered its emergency level to Level 2, with extreme cold warnings in effect.
City and village crews have worked around the clock to clear streets and maintain access for emergency services. Bellaire experienced a water main break, resulting in a 48-hour boil advisory, while local equipment donations helped with snow removal. Residents are advised to limit travel, protect water pipes, and keep pets indoors.
Officials urged respect for snow routes and caution when shoveling as recovery efforts continue across the county.
