The first of two clipper systems that could bring as much as 6 inches of snow over the next few days moved into the Tri-State overnight. This is a look at Interstate 275 at Dixie Highway in Northern Kentucky.(ohgo.com)
A 3-vehicle crash around 2:30 a.m. shut down southbound Interstate 75 at Ezzard Charles Drive near downtown Cincinnati for about an hour. It briefly opened and then closed again so tow trucks could move in.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for most of the southwestern Ohio counties and southeastern Indiana counties until 10 a.m. Friday with accumulating snow.
Most of the northern Kentucky counties are under a Winter Storm Warning until 10 a.m. Friday.
