long ago tried to give -- ``long ago given up how to guess ``how the schools are going to rea ``ct. ``sometimes, depending on how late ``your buses go, 8:00 or 10:00 ``this morning, the roads will be ``getting a little bit rough. ``right now it is not a huge ``issue. ``is you take a float that the ``radar, this is a large storm ``system -- as you take a look at ``the radar. ``we will watch these burst of ``indy has already seen one round ``but another one rolling to ``chicago and headed in our ``direction as you get towards the ``next couple hours. ``this is our first burst. ``this one has the potential to be ``more hefty looking as it rolls ``10:00 a.m. ``we will continue to watch that ``direction. ``we have got one round that ``rolled in late last night. ``did not cause that much down. ``that is exiting to the east. ``a light dusting. ``the study are snow rolling and ``supporters of butler county. ``middletown to hamilton at oxford ``and in through southeastern ``indiana north of 74. ``your first round of snow showers ``is on the way in. ``a winter weather advisory in ``effect. ``one maybe two inches tops but if ``it does come 8:00 or nine :00 or ``10:00 this morning, a lot of ``people on the road trying to get ``to work or school. ``here is the breakdown for today. ``8 ``by noon, the snow heads out and ``are temperatures start to tumble ``as we begin the second part of ``the day -- check that out. ``4:00, we are sitting at 20. ``feels like into the single ``digits. ``a waiting game this morning. ``looks like if you are heading ``out in the next hour or so, no ``big issues. ``kyla: the roads are great out ``there so far. ``if you get ready to head out at ``this early hour, here is a look ``at 71 and 75. ``one crew putting some salt down. ``hopefully that will help us miss ``out on any major problems we may ``run into with the snow coming ``down later this morning. ``and you can see, 71-75 moving ``along. ``275 same thing. ``through the eastgate area, still ``seeing that light volume. ``75 looks good heading out along ``the i-75 corridor. ``we will continue to cover it and ``let you know if any problems pop ``up. ``mark: the snow is just starting ``to fall in some areas. ``we' re keeping an eye on the ``roads. ``coverage with richard chiles ``live along madison road. ``richard: good morning. ``we are starting to see some ``isolated flurries coming down. ``the anticipated 1-2 inches ``expected sometime around 8:00 ``a.m. ``looks like it may be beginning ``in the tri-state. ``madison road, a main artery into ``downtown cincinnati coming from ``the east. ``the roads ahve been -- have ``been pretreated. ``cars are still allowed to park ``on both sides of the road. ``when the city does issue snow ``emergency, the parking has to be ``moved from the main artery and ``people have to move their cars. ``at this time, pre-treatment has ``happened in the city. ``roadways are clear. ``old on the highways and through ``the main arteries with no ``evidence of precipitation as of ``yet. ``flurry activity here in hyde ``park. ``- lisa: thank you. ``4:34. ``we know the deep freeze will ``move in after the snow and there ``hypothermia eight can occur in ``temperatures -- can occur in ``temperatures as high as 50 ``degrees if conditions are dampen ``wending. ``babies in the elderly are at the ``highest risk. ``for signs of hypothermia, ``shivering. ``frostbite becomes a problem. ``fingers, toes, years, knowss, ``thef -- noses the first to be ``affected. ``you should take off wet clothing ``and wrap up in warm blankets. ``let' ``now where they are supposed to ``morning. ``mark: andrew setters is in ``westchester right now. ``good morning. ``andrew: good morning. ``we are here at cincinnati and ``tyler' s railroad in westchester. ``this is a busy intersection, at ``least it will be as the morning ``drive begins to pick up. ``it also will be of the snow ``begins to pick up. we have a few flakes here. ``i can type tight i have been ``listening a lot to randi' ``forecast and one of the biggest ``concerns for me is the wind and ``the cold temperatures, because ``single digit low is coming makes ``becomes a big problem as well. ``the road c ``fairly small window of time to ``get here and attack this snow ``before the temperatures change. ``it could present a problem for ``chemicals. ``the salt becoming less effective ``at the colder temperatures. ``with that snow coming in an ``temperaturesd dropping to the ``single digit is within less than ``one of four hours, it could ``present problems. ``they will want to get the snow ``off the roads as quickly as they ``can to keep driving conditions ``in good shape on the back end of ``the system. ``we will be watching all of it as ``we go throughout the morning. ``mark: thank you. ``well, now going a little closer ``the city is getting ready for ``the snowy road conditions. ``dan: good morning to you. ``one thing i have noticed here as ``the traffic is starting to pick ``up on interstate 71. ``the other thing picking up, ``starting to cease of snow ``flurries. ``cincinnati road crews are ``keeping a close watch on what is ``going on. `` they are pretreating the roads. ``24,000 tons of salt. ``60,000 gallons of brine they ``will put all over the streets to ``make sure they are ready to go ``as the precipitation comes down ``to one thing i have to say that ``is interesting. ``the temperatures are very -- are ``fairly mild. ``i was speaking with the ``photographer. ``it feels pretty ball me out ``here. ``-- balmy out here. ``it is very interesting. ``they are taking a close look at ``this and trying to make sure ``they are ready to rumble with ``mother nature. ``during an event, to stay in the ``comfort of your home, you will ``be safe, you will be warm. ``the less traffic that is out on ``the street allows us to get ``through and do our jobs much ``easier. ``dan: the next thing they want ``people to remember is that as ``you' re driving, the snow will ``come and quickly when a lot of ``people are going to work and ``school. ``the best thing to keep in mind ``is to go slow. ``make sure you' re not slamming on ``your brakes, driving quickly. ``make room for them of they are ``clearing the road and spreading ``sell because they do need room ``to work. ``be careful, be conscious, and ``keep us on issue are getting ``ready for school and work this ``morning. ``-- as you are getting ready for ``work and school. ``mark: thanks to our viewers in ``kentucky who sent us this ``picture of their porch covered ``in snow. ``this

going on today. ``-- a a pinwheel effect. ``this is not entire -- the ``entirety of her system. ``there is one that will hit us ``toward the latter half of the ``morning rush. ``that one may have a little more ``intensity. ``as you take a look at the radar, ``here it is mainly north of the ``275 loop. ``our crew has started to ``see the snow coming down a ``little bit more. ``out toward liberty. ``for the kids heading to the bus ``stop this morning, yes, we do ``have some delays at the bottom ``of the screen but i do not think ``everyone gets delayed or close ``for today. ``plan on bundling up at the bus ``stop this morning. ``snow and wind on the way. ``i say that because it looks like ``most of it will be picking up `` depends on what your districts ``bus schedule is like. ``on the way home from school, 21, ``windy and getting way colder. ``for those of you that are ``decision-makers waking the -- ``heaviest, 7:00 or 8:00 and ``getting going at 9:00 or 10:00 ``a.m. ``you are looking at 1-2 inches of ``total snowfall. ``let' s check of roads. ``kyla: they are still clear. ``if you' re heading out, you can ``see the snow later on this ``morning. ``heading out the door, you do not ``need a lot of extra time at this ``hour. ``here is 471 at 27. ``if you' re heading to northern ``kentucky, we are sing a little ``bit of slow traffic on this ``portion of 275 at the interstage ``--

``and the skies will clear out as ``you head into tomorrow morning. ``so let' s take a look at what we ``are expecting for our snowfall. ``models can go all over the place ``but most of them have a pretty ``good consensus on the system ``bringing us around an inch or so ``of snowfall. ``kind of hovering near that inch ``or inch and a half of snowfall. ``not a huge system for us. ``on the grand scale of things but ``if it does hit while you are on ``the road, it is a much bigger ``deal. ``today, 31 degrees. ``as to have a jurist tumble, ``tonight all the way down into ``the single digits,

goes, we ``will see rounds of snowfall ``between now and 7:00 a.m. ``a lull and then potentially a ``heavier burst between 8:00 and ``10:00. ``the latter half of the morning ``rush, we could see the snowfall ``pick up a little bit. ``9:00 or 10:00 this morning ``before moves out closer to ``lunchtime. ``and we try things out to the ``afternoon. ``but those winds rolling and 20 ``miles an hour
