10:45am: State braces for ice storm
CINCINNATI (AP) — Much of Ohio is bracing for a slippery ride. Freezing rain and winter weather advisories are in effect for the vast majority of the state's 88 counties because of the potential for wintry precipitation and slick roads. Ice began forming on roads in the Cincinnati area during the early part of Tuesday morning's rush hour. The storm is moving northeast. Just after 6 a.m., at least four accidents came in quick succession on Interstate 74 west of downtown Cincinnati. Also, parts of the Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway were shut down because of multiple accidents. Cincinnati public services supervisor Greg Ayers says the city began pre-treating streets on Monday and had about 70 trucks out early on Tuesday.
