Ohioans brace for more snow, colder temperatures

0

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohioans should expect to see more snow Saturday, as a system makes its way across
the state.
Winter
weather advisories were in effect statewide, with 2 to 4 inches of snow
predicted. Some areas could see 6 inches. Temperatures were expected to
be in the lower teens or single digits, with below-zero wind chills.
Wind gusts in northeast Ohio could reach near 40 mph.
The Ohio
Department of Transportation said Friday it’s used about 621,000 tons of
salt on roadways so far this season, compared with roughly 252,000 tons
at this time last year.
Officials in one southwest county said
they have a salt shortage that’s limiting the clearing of county roads.
Montgomery County was advising motorists that sand would be used by
itself or with salt in some areas.
