(WJW) – It’s supposed to be the first day back to school for many students who have been out for winter break, but a major winter storm just south of Northeast Ohio is forcing some schools to close.
Although the heaviest snow and greatest travel impacts will stay well south of the area, the storm system is bringing widespread light snow and it’s impacting the morning commute.
Early Monday morning, FOX 8 radar showed snow all across Northeast Ohio with some packets of heavier snow.
Traffic cameras provided by the Ohio Department of Transportation showed highways in the southern portion of the FOX 8 viewing area with slick conditions.
Several schools canceled classes for the day including Ashland City Schools, Canton Local Schools, Massillon City Schools, Lorain City Schools, Wooster City School, and more. CLICK HERE to view the full list.
Coshocton and Tuscarawas Counties are under a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY until 7 p.m. Monday. This is where up to 4″ of snow will be possible. Some places south of I-70 in Ohio could see a foot of snow by the end of the day.
