Snow has tapered off in Ohio, where a storm left up to 10 inches on the ground and contributed to a highway pileup involving as many as 20 vehicles.
A lake effect snow warning was extended until 7 p.m. Tuesday in seven northeast Ohio counties. Forecasters say areas could get up to 3 more inches of snow.
The National Weather Service says Ashtabula County was left with up to 10 inches on Monday. Areas near Cleveland had 6 inches or more on the ground.
Though snow was lighter elsewhere in Ohio, authorities say it was a factor in numerous crashes. The State Highway Patrol says 15-20 vehicles were in a pileup Monday afternoon on Interstate 75 in southwest Ohio.
Three people were hospitalized with injuries not life-threatening.

How can this article say the accident took place in southwest Ohio, when Dry Ridge is in Kentucky? Has Ohio now annexed part of Kentucky?

these idiots never learn about the first snow. they need to be reminded each time they go off the road or slide into somebody. the idiots with suvs and all wheel drive think that they can still drive fast on slick roads.

****Try again, unless Interstate 75 moved it isn't located in southeast Ohio, try Southwest.****
