Winter Storm Update (3:00pm)

Light to moderate (ocassionally heavy) snow will continue through the evening hours. Most areas have recieved a solid 5-7″, with isolated spots picking up close to 10″. Expect another 3″ or so by the time the main event winds down, which will generate storm totals of 8-12″. Light snow will continue off-and-on through the night with additional light accumulations of 1-3″. Most roads are rather nasty across the tri-state, including highways/expressways. With temps falling to around 20 tonight, expect any slush or water on the roads (melting due to salt) to re-freeze, creating very hazardous conditions for the morning commute. Hamilton County is currently under a LEVEL TWO SNOW EMERGENCY, which basically means that nobody should be on the roads unless absolutely necessary. I expect all schools to be closed tomorrow, with many rural districts closing through Thu.
