Road conditions are beginning to deteriorate as snow continues to steadily fall throughout the Miami Valley.
Throughout the overnight hours some weather related crashed occurred, but most were minor in nature and cleaned up quickly. Road crews are out in force treating roads as some of the heavier pockets of snow move through.
Experts are advising adding extra time for your commute this morning due to poor driving conditions.
Snow accumulations are expected around 3-5 inches in most places, with the majority of the snow falling right at the start of the morning commute. Visibility may also be limited by snow falling at an inch per hour, adding to the already hazardous conditions.
We will update this page as notable crashes occur and road conditions change.

No snow but it was like 28 degrees when I left for work this morning.
