| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | North winds behind a cold front sagging across the region caused a shallow layer of below freezing air to penetrate deep into the Ohio Valley. Precipitation falling over the region changed from rain and drizzle to freezing rain and freezing drizzle, and then eventually to sleet and snow from north to south. Total snow accumulations were light, ranging from less than an inch in Western Ohio to up to 3 inches in South Central and Central Ohio. The roadways became coated with a layer of ice, and then light snow fell on the ice making it difficult for drivers to see the ice in many locations. Numerous accidents occurred over a large area. An eight car and truck pileup occurred on a bridge in Warren county, closing the bridge for a few hours. |
