randi: it is what we expected, not a huge amount. it is coming up pretty good and the temperatures are cold enough it instantly sticks. a couple of systems where it has taken a while, this don' t help that first. it is cold enough you know the snow is instantly sticking, specially to untreated roadways. you can see the leading edge moving through clinton and island counties. everybody else already has at least a light coating of snow on the ground. currently, a little heavier through our sense of racket and robertson counties. -- bracken and robertson counties. just north of the 275 loop, a decent and rolling through southeastern indiana and michigan of portions of butler county as well. we are expected to see snow showers continue at the current pace probably through the heart of the morning commute.

rolling between indiana and illinois. we are stuck with the snow for the morning rush, getting better between 9:00 and 11:00. by noon, most places are totally done with accumulating snow. winter weather advisory expanded , continuing until 7:00 tonight. this snow is done by noon but a flurry or two is possible the second half of the day. 8:00, 17 degrees. noon, snow showers fade way but a flurry possible, 25. it is not the amount, it is the timing that is the issue. snow covered roadways, what is the latest? kyla: i think a lot of commuters will beginning themselves a two hour delay and i would not blame you if you give yourself a bit of a push back if possible. 71-275, rams completely covered from 275 on 271-75. quite a bit of coverage from the

we are seeing it on the two 75 loop as well. here is route 32 for the eastgate area are going into parts of claremont county. as well as the rural roads, you will see way more coverage as well. you will be the extra time making her way out no matter where you' re heading. 275 on the northern edge of the loop near 71-75 until warned county and butler county, a lot of snow. we will have another check coming up in a few minutes. lisa: thank you. our team coverage of winter weather continues with a check on how cincinnati and northern kentucky road crews are making sure local roads are safe. wlwt news 5' s dan griffin is live with a closer look. dan? dan: good morning. traffic is starting to pick up this morning and it is a good thing road crews were out pretreating. but it looks like the snow is starting to stick a little bit. this is interstate 71, just next to downtown.

we' re seeing a pickup. the other thing we are seeing pickup, accumulation. we can see as the cars are going by. the most traveled part of 71, you can see the asphalt and everything. over a little farther, you can actually see it is starting to pick up. road crews have been hard at work since about 7:00 p.m. last night in cincinnati, have about 50 or 60 truck' s pretreating the roads, trying to make sure everything is safe. and northern kentucky, we' re told the kentucky department of transportation crews have about 69 trucks salting and plowing and making sure the roads are safe. they also have truck dedicated to the cut-in-the-hill, which is very much important for the morning commute. we' re live in downtown, dan griffin, wlwt news 5. mark: thank you. we' re getting a firsthand look of what you' ll see on the roads as you head out this morning. let' s go straight to reporter andrew setters who' s leading the way in our live drive 5. andrew, where are you and what are you seeing now?

spence bridge, dan was talking about the cut-in-the-hill and we just came to that area. it is in better shape than some of the other stretches of highways we have seen because they have a truck dedicated just to try to keep the cut-in-the-hill in pretty good shape. the been sprints ridge -- brent spence bridge is fine on the lord tech. northbound lanes of 75, downtown area, we have driven around the area through parts of northern kentucky as the snow is sticking to the interstate, sticking to the roads, really sidestreets are surprisingly in pretty rough shape because they have a covering of snow on them. on the highways, crews have been able to keep them in pretty good shape. we are not slipping and sliding, but we' re also taking a pretty easy this morning. right now, we are not seeing a lot of traffic on the road with us. it will all depend on how much

comes down, and the timing as we continue through the morning. if people decide to stay off the roads for a while, give the road crews a chance to really do their work, then things might be a pretty good shape. if people hit it hard this morning trying to get to work like they normally would, we could easily run into problems as the snow continues to come down. andrew setters, wlwt news 5. lisa: if you take the bus into work, metro will update its detour hotline all day during severe winter weather. you can call the phone number on your screen from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. for the most current detour information. the number is 632-7538. metro reminds riders whose stop is on a hill to board at the top or bottom of the hill. duke energy is helping the assistance to people in need during these cold winter months. duke donated $315,000 to the heatshare assistance program, operated by the salvation army. the salvation army began

yesterday. mark: many schools are already announcing delays or closures for this morning, and the decision is not an easy one. wlwt news 5' s miriah turner is at the live alert desk now with before making the call to open or close. miriah: it is a very important decision when you' making the call to have or not to have snow days, the decision is not cut and dry, especially when the snow is expected to hit at an inconvenient time. in mason, so far the district has not used up any snow days. last year they used four. the superintendent is the one to make the call. she got up at 4:00 this money to check the roads. every time snow is a risk, she will drive around the streets and walk the sidewalks to see how the accumulation is measuring up. the next step, to contact different district leaders to find out how the buildings are working. in sycamore township, they told us the superintendent does just the same. it is a decision districts take seriously. make sure to check out our

southbound lanes are really starting to pick up. slow spots are starting to infiltrate our entire map. you can see a lot of yellow on the place. 48 miles per hour out of butler county, 74 tour the merge was 75, about 45 miles per hour. you can see montana slowing down and picking up as far as the volume in the eastbound lanes. we are a close eye on that as well. we are just seeing very, very heavy conditions. up to 24 minutes already from the split in the downtown. we' re usually hovering around 18 or 19 minutes. an early jump on that extension of our travel time. traffic is picking up. maybe folks are getting out early to get themselves plenty of time. you want to do that if you' re heading out the door right now. lisa: honoring the firefighter who served his committee for two decades.
