Cincinnati, OH – Drivers across southwest Ohio are facing dangerous travel conditions this morning as heavy snow continues to fall, reducing visibility on major highways and coating roads with several inches of accumulation.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, some areas within the snow band have already recorded over 4 inches of snow by 10 a.m. Tuesday. Officials warn that with temperatures remaining below freezing, slick and icy patches are likely even where totals are lighter.
A live camera from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) near I-275 at Barg Salt Run Road, just east of Cincinnati, showed near whiteout conditions late Tuesday morning. Visibility on the interstate appeared significantly reduced as steady snow continued to fall, causing slowdowns and potential hazards for commuters.
The National Weather Service urges residents to report snowfall totals only if conditions are safe and measurements can be taken from a flat, drift-free surface. Drivers are reminded to reduce speeds, maintain extra following distance, and allow additional travel time through the day.
More snow showers are possible through this afternoon before tapering tonight, with continued cold temperatures expected to keep road surfaces slick into Wednesday morning.
