LEBANON, Ohio — Ohio Department of Transportation crews are working to clear the roads of snow and ice after snow fell on top of a wintry mix overnight.
Anywhere from 3-5’’ of snow fell in most areas of the Tri-State overnight on top of 1-2’’ of wintry mix. Road conditions coupled with wind chills in the single digits has made progress slow for road crews.
More than 120 ODOT snow plow operators are working across Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Greene, Hamilton, Preble and Warren counties Tuesday morning.

Stay home while we work to find the pavement. It's going to take several passes to get our roadways passable.
These are NOT normal driving conditions! Take it slow in the snow! #kywx pic.twitter.com/lYVuM0hefn
Drivers should remember to give crews plenty of room while they are working to clear the roads.
