The National Weather Service upgraded much of the area to a Winter Storm Warning early Tuesday morning until 7 a.m. Some areas could see 4-6” of snowfall, if not more.

Roads starting getting dicey Monday night as snow moved into the Tri-State; WCPO crews reported vehicles spun-out on area roadways and several inches of snow blanketing the ground.

Highway crews asked residents to stay off the roads if possible to give plenty of room for snowplow drivers to clear the way.
Please stay home if possible. Allow @ODOT_Cincinnati snow fighters room to continue plowing through the night. https://t.co/ZpNZxQRW77
