Description: 
Snow, perhaps mixed with a little rain initially, is expected to spread across the area between 6 AM and noon. Locally moderate snow will be possible. The snow will affect travel this morning, which includes the Cincinnati and Dayton metro areas. With temperatures slightly above freezing, much of the snow will accumulate on grassy and elevated surfaces. However, higher rates of snow will reduce visibilities and may cause road surfaces to become slick, especially across bridges and overpasses. Snow accumulations will vary from a half inch to up to 2 inches. The snow will taper off to areas of rain and snow this afternoon as temperatures warm slightly. Allow extra time to reach your destination if traveling this morning.
