It may not be much snow across the state, but bridges and overpasses could still be slick. Use caution when driving and give our more than 360 crews room to work! #ODOTwinter pic.twitter.com/eZ8ZeLJ9u3

Multiple crashes were reported on highways throughout the region Wednesday morning following light snow showers.
The U.S. 35 East ramp to Interstate 675 North was closed in Beavercreek and the ramp from Colonel Glenn Highway to I-675 North were also closed due to crashes.
Traffic was backed up through Dayton on Interstate 75 South after a crash blocked the left lane near Edwin C. Moses Boulevard.
It’s not clear weather conditions are believed to be the cause of any of the crashes.
While drier conditions are expected during the day, another round of snow showers is possible in the late afternoon and early evening, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington. Snowfall is expected to be scattered, but there is a chance for brief heavier bursts of snow that could decrease visibility and lead to slick spots on the roads.
