Special Weather Statement issued January 6 at 3:19PM EST by NWS Wilmington OH (details ...)
After the snow comes to an end, some roads may remain snow- covered or slick through tonight. Some patchy blowing snow may cause snow to blow back onto previously-cleared roads, allowing for potential slick spots to linger longer than would otherwise be the case. Exercise caution if driving through tonight. Additionally, wind chill values around zero are expected tonight into early Wednesday morning. Bundle up in layers and avoid prolonged time outdoors, if possible.
