and authorities say it is too dangerous for anyone to try to travel. >> this is a dangerous storm. there are way too many people out on the roadway now and if you are not where you need to be, it' s just going to get worse. it' s going to get worse fast. >> the winds up to 60 mph are expected on the east coast. >> here at home the worst of the winter blast essentially is over. >> and a lot of folks didn' t see the spread like they thought. >> it' s compared to the north wener counties and it wasn' t a snow event for you, but looking to the south and east lighter layers of accumulation. looking live with the gold boot country.com camry where we have wet road surfaces. still watching out for some hazardous driving out there. denise will detail that in a moment, but let' s switch things over. still have the winter storm

counties in pink and that will take you until about noon. there are extreme southeastern counties including adams, mason, robertson and lewis. everyone else is out of the woods, if you will, with that chance of snow showers in the forecast, in fact, as far as snow totals go. this may need to be tweaked later in the day but it did fall in the southeastern counties 3- 6 inches roughly and the west union farther to the south and east and that' s where they got the brunt of it. and did receive most areas 1- 3" as far as snowfall with those that fell on the less to 1 inch range out there. it made it hard to forecast for the bullseye of the event that is more so towards washington d.c. and have the snowfalls track for you and starting to wind down out of the area. west union with a couple of light snow flakes for you and that' s the last bit of it starting to move out of the area and dry air is starting to build in back from the west.

build into the system yesterday. and i believe that' s why we really had to cut down on the snow totals. we were working with that and dry air and all the moisture you see impacting the east coast and with that we had the high pressure off to the west of us and quite a challenge in the tri- state being on the northern edge of it. depending on where you are, that means you may not really see any snow compared to the places in the south and east where we did receive quite a bit more. notice how temps are still very cold. - mid and we' ll have winds out of the we' ll talk about some warmer conditions and the potential for wet weather in just a few. right now let' s send things over to denise here on this drive. >> for the most part we had decent roadways especially for the interstates and seeing the slow down right in the area of

those ramps can be very tricky. that' s going to be an issue through the day. our onramps and offramps and overpasses. if you' re heading out 275 near taylor mill, not seeing issues and that' s the closest camera i have to that area over around 275 to 471. not seeing any huge issues. we' ll take a quick look outside just to give you a wide view as far as the interstates go. had a floor shot but not dealing with the problems and we did send jodi bar out this morning and he was traveling in the areas where the snow was still coming down and causing problems. jody? >> reporter: yeah, denise. we are right in downtown ripley in brown county and you can see the road conditions in one of the areas that was supposed to have some fairly reasonable, sizable snow amounts here. this is what you see. haven' t seen a plow truck come

drag here in ripley in quite some time and this is road accumulation. the roads are in fairly good condition and snow plows continue to work here and this is what you' re seeing. >> thank you so much. causing problems for the 3- alarm fire in pendleton and fire fighters arrived at the apartment building on east 12th street early this morning to find flames shooting through the roof. we' re told that building is vacant but the apartments next door were evacuated as a precaution. no injuris have been reported. road crews also put salt down after the flames started to freeze. no word on the cause. >> anchor: 8:05 now. let' s go outside to frank who is checking out the conditions. >> anchor: frank, where are you? >> frank: good morning! at 6:00 we came on the air with

we were out at anderson and very little issue there is and just fine and now made our way to watavia because it' s saturday and people want to get to the best buy and the pet smart. the only issue is slushy and a little bit of icy spots in the parking lots. and in the last 40 minutes we' ve been here and over in the distance and he' s been going back and forth and getting the parking lot plowed out and looking good. as you make your way towards the main road here and that' s then it' s about an inch to the east gate area and we have the jungle gyms over there and aj trek and, folks, you' re just fine. get on out and do what you have to do here. there are no major issues here and a little slushy and a few icy patches, but all in all it' s not going to be bad to get

one thing that will get you guys is this wind. it will get you, too, as you step out. back to you in queensscape. >> anchor: thank you, frank. many of you are sending pictures of your backyards. we are thankful. >> anchor: this is the first look. the aberdeen bridge. that' s amazeville. and look at this one here. these little kids. >> anchor: they' re all bundled up! grant county, a blizzard and talking about those areas like mazeville and brent county getting hit pretty hard. >> reporter: and this beautiful shot. thank you for sending this one in. you can see again how much snow is coming down yesterday. >> anchor: and of course share your pictures. upload them to the fox 19 mobile app. it'

t forget, tell us where you' re sending them from. we' re talking about a lot. up next a massive backup on i- 75 and rock castle county has people still just sitting in traffic. how much of that highway is shut down? it' s going to surprise you. we' ll give you the details coming up. >> anchor: one man saying he was in there for 15 hours! and another live look outside with a look at mazeville if we have it. you can see how snow covered the roads are. we'

yo re unpking alrdy? ye, help mfind sommugs. su. (bp) he.. o. wa up to t mountai he best rt of wan' up sowhere doou want start? i ink thiss a prettyood plac

in east-central kentucky... >> anchor: we are following breaking news now. i- 75 just re- opened in east central kentucky. thousands of drivers stranded for hours in rock castle county due to some really nasty conditions. >> anchor: and we have one local man who was stuck in his

ll talk to vern now. he' s from loveland and we have him on the phone. vern, you said they finally re- opened the roads and you' re moving? >> yes, finally. it' s opened up and moving about 40 mph. >> anchor: what time of the day yesterday did you wind up having to stop? >> i can tell you exactly. it was 4:23. >> geez! >> anchor: you sat there for how long? >> well, until about 20 minutes ago, half an hour ago. >> anchor: what did you do as far as - - obviously hopefully you had a full tank of gas! but to stay warm or to eat? >> well, you just leave your car running. whenever i get to half a tank, i' ll fill it up so i probably had three quarters of a tank and i didn' t even use a quarter of a tank letting it idle all night. and really it wasn' t that cold, but obviously you can' t get food or water like that when you' re in the middle of the interstates. that' s the bigger issue, really. >> anchor: i saw where you shared on facebook there were

interstate that were coming out and bringing food and water to the people that were stuck in some of the cars. >> yeah, that was pretty amazing. >> anchor: how wonderful. as far as what happened through the night for you? >> nothing. [ laughing ] it sounds pretty - - thank goodness for smart phones and i' ve probably read every news report on the planet. >> anchor: you mentioned the police officers or someone came by and said they' d bring food and water by? >> they did check on us twice. they came by about midnight and said what the gameplan was they wanted the trucks and suvs to move forward and the cars to move to the right side and stay put. they were going to try to bring a plow up. and that never actually took place. but then about 3 they came back by and just checking on everybody to make sure that they had gas and said they' d

shortly and they never did get around to that. that wasn' t a big deal because i can say now that i' ve gotten past where the problem is, the roads were horrible! the national guard was out. they had graters out. >> anchor: i' m glad you' re moving and hopefully in the cincinnati area home soon. >> thank you for calling in. >> you' re welcome. >> reporter: this stresses again how important it is to have the emergency preparations. imagine other folks on the roadways - - families. i' m glad people were helping them out. >> anchor: he said he travels a lot so he did have food in the car and some of the necessities but a lot of people just don' t think about it. >> anchor: and again, to reiterate, we were talking to him. he got stuck in his vehicle on i- 75 in kentucky at 4:23 yesterday afternoon and just started driving 20 minutes ago. >> anchor: amazing! >> anchor: unbelievable!

>> reporter: we really were. it would have been exciting to see that snow but it would have caused major headaches out there. we did see the higher amounts but didn' t get the brunt of it. >> anchor: that' s a good thing! >> anchor: it really is. >> reporter: he was just about two hours south, 40 minutes south of lexington. in london, kentucky, 2 miles north of that. that' s not that far away. it did miss up. resresthat' s what i' m stressing and what made this forecast so challenging because it really wasn' t that much of a distance, but you had so much of the distance in the forecast. >> and i' ll show it to you guys in a moment. take you outside thirst and the jake sweeney kia cam there. we have the wet road surfaces those roads. temperatures are below the freezing mark by about 10 it' s a situation where especially on the bridges and overpasses, those less traveled roads, we'

watching now for slick conditions. denise will talk about that in a moment, but the snow is tapering off over the region so that' s fantastic news heading into the afternoon and we' ll see gradual clearing out of the area heading into the second part of the day. now chilly temperatures are also in the forecast. we' re going to run about 10 below our seasonal average this afternoon and in the 7- day forecast we' ll talk about the next chances for some wet weather. we do have that winter storm warning still in effect for the southeastern most counties on adam, lewis, mason and robertson until about noon. snow is really starting to taper off and may have to be tweaked throughout the day as snow totals come into the fox 19 weather center. trace amount upwards to an inch possible in the city center to cincinnati and 275 loop. we also have the lesser amounts spotted off to the north and west here. but the higher amounts to the

to the southeast of mazeville and west union where they received 6 inches of snow overall. pockets of light snow flakes to talk about near hillsborough and farther extreme counties and winchester with a few and west union and tollsboro. but starting to see this back behind the massive system and it' s a big low pressure system and dry air very close to us on the back side of it. high pressure will build today but that' s one of the reasons why it took down out of the snow totals and working with the dry air and a lot of moisture with this system, but it really wasn' t enough to get the snow totals higher or farther to the north and west and the high totals to the south and east and that snow tapering off throughout the late morning and dryer this afternoon and looking for clearing off to the north. we' ll track partly cloudy skies overnight. that will allow temperatures to sink into the midteens, but the great news for those located to the southeastern most counties where you-

inches of snow you have a dry day to shovel the driveways, get sidewalks cleaned and dry weather for you tomorrow if you don' t get around to doing today. temperatures slightly warmer and with sunshine may get snow melt out there and then we have a chance for some mist, maybe some drizzle followed by the light rain snow shower heading into tuesday and then flurries with cooler temperatures into your wednesday. we' ll track that for you in the next couple of days. let' s send things back to jessica right now. 44 . >> it sounds like a vacation. >> and download the fox 19 weather app by texting the word snow to 41919. up next we' ll have the update on current road he' s live with the storm tracker headed to maysville. in aberdeen right now. but he' s driving, it seems we' ll check in with him when we

doesn' t need anything else. just add, anything else. sizzle for $12.99. the new smoky bacon sirloin. the new spicy grilled jalapeno sirloin. crusted sirloin.

tonight only at longhorn steakhouse. you cant fake steak. and for lunch try our new steak and bacon cheddar melt.

>> anchor: fox 19 weather time is 8:21 and as we look farther from home in the white house, that' s in the midst of the winter storm and see that covering on the roof top there and old glory off in the distance waving back and forth a bit. we will be talking about those conditions here close to home. not as severe obviously as what they are dealing with in washington d.c.. we' ll see the significant accumulation and the light look over florence with the light accumulations there and especially those less traveled roads and those sidewalks and they may be slippery this morning. it' s 22 and look live with

we did have quite a bit of a range and it' s higher amounts where aberdeen and west union coming in at 5 inches there and about 4 inches with hillsborough over 3 and about an inch and a half permillion and notice aberdeen, west union and those are extreme southwestern counties in the fox 19 viewing area. you folks did see the most and again we' re on the northern fringe of the system and that' s what made the system so hard to forecast for. it' s dry air on the back side of the system and we had all this moisture checking all the numerous watches moving to the west. then it is going for a couple of days that are posted to noon. we are watching the end of the system as we speak and the storm tracker doppler radar showing the end of the storm system moving through the area that that area of low pressure still spinning off to the west or east there rather. it is going to move off of the atlantic ocean and that means we' ll have some dry weather

north so a bit of a wind chill and certainly possible and it feels more like 11 on the skin here close to home so a killy day and temps are sitting in the 20s over the region and it will feel colder once you factor in that wind out there. that' s already starting to pick up in some places. below average it' chilly but we' we' ll be able to dig ourselves out in the southeastern most counties and now other than warming into next week. the 7 day in just a few. right now dan and jess, back to you. >> dan: sarah missed her flight or got cancelled to richmond and made her come to work. >> anchor: yes, a lot of folks are out in the snow. she' s in maysville. is it still snowing? >> reporter: yes, it is still snowing! it is still snowing. then it is going to the west of the valero station off the main drag and you can see they' ve

in mason county. the roads are not that bad and covered in some snow and we have a guy who just pulled up to refuel his car. if you want to show it here live this morning he is refueling and he does have a snow plow on the very front of his truck there. and he' s going to need it because several of the roads here at mason county and it took us about an hour and a half to get down here. we could not drive as fast as we normally would and then the snow is still coming down pretty hard here in mason county. we' re going to stay on top of this. we' ll bring you live here from mason county throughout the morning. back to you guys. >> anchor: and notice behind her how cheap the gas was! couldn' t help but notice what they' re filling up for! >> anchor: as catherine is showing us from d.c., the east coast is getting hit hard with the winter blast. >> anchor: it really is. it takes a view from space to grasp how full the winter storm is. details, though, on how deadly

and a live look outside again. we' re talking snow totals. how much do certain areas get? because some got more than others. we'

your dreams evolve, and with committed support, they thrive.

welcome to the fox19 weekend eight-thirty

kd >> good morning, everyone. approaching 8:30 this saturday morning. hit that area. a lot of snow there and looking can see - - we' ve been showing you morning re dealing with a lot of snow. thankfully we kind of escaped a i' m looking at catherine for confirmation. >> reporter: yes, of course. >> dan: she' s been track thanksgiving for a couple of days for us. >> it' s the moisture driven system and can change the forecast dramatically. that' s what we saw happen to us in the tri- state and some areas did receive a significant amount. a majority of us did have lesser amounts of snow accumulation and that does include our metro parks cam over butler county there in west chester. just a dusting so really nothing major as far as the snow storm for you but we

roads and cool temperatures and we' re sitting at 22 but if you compare the conditions to the extreme eastern most including adam, lewis, mason and robertson, quite a contrast. you' re currently under the winter storm warning that will take you until about lunch time and noon and see the snow eventually taper off over the region. we may have to tweet this through the day as they come into the fox 19 weather center and this is what we look at as far as snow totals with whip trace amount to an inch or a majority of us and off to the south and east here you can see those totals going up quite a bit in our viewing area and the significant amount near maysville, west union and georgetown but higher the farther east and south. for today the snow starting to taper off with the high pressure building and you can see as we pan over a little bit the snow showers certainly come to an end near hillsborough, brush creek. not too many of those.

s the last bit of it and then wee going to dry out. then it is going to the east with the high pressure building off to the west and that' s going to deliver the dry forecast for us today. then the temperatures sitting in the 20s right now and we' re going to head into the afternoon with those daytime . let' s check with the morning driver now. denise johnson standing by with car start. >> you may have to shovel out ve just jumping around even t interstate and they' ve done a good job of keeping those clear but right now there are still areas dealing with the snow coming down and we have sent jody bar out on the roads and into the snow to show you where it is coming down pretty good.

>> anchor: all right, i don' t think he can hear us. you can see the road conditions there from the storm tracker live shot and how snow covered they are. at last check he was at aberdeen there and i' m not sure where he is at this point and we' ll check back in in just a few moments. >> and it really does show you guys at home a live picture of those secondary roadways that are snow covered and really a lot of roads that have not been treated yet by the plows. it' s the main thor' s fare they focus on first and move to the outlying areas in the tri- state and try to get those taken care of. and then oh, man, on the back roads, pack your patience. >> anchor: that' s what we want to see. the east coast is hunkering down with the monster storm and to put it lightly it hits 22 states. >> anchor: miguel marquez says the capitol is on track to break some winter records. >> winter has finally arrived

>> reporter: and south carolina, north carolina, virginia, new york, maryland and virtually every other state on the eastern seaboard. millions are facing potentially record breaking winter conditions. the massive storm set to hit the east coast has already frozen air travel with more than 4,000 flights cancelled so far. united airlines is suspending all flights at dulles washington international and other airports starting friday afternoon. >> i think it could be disastrous for a lot of people trying to get out of town. >> reporter: with the massive croshairs on the midatlantic the capitol starting from the first winter weather test. >> if this was a test, we failed. as soon asy snow started to fall, it immediately froze. >> washington' s mayor apologized for the snarl in the first big freeze. >> we are very sorry for the inadequate response. >> reporter: but it was nothing compared to the icy juggernaut

30 inches of snow by sunday. >> we will treat this event as a homeland security and emergency management event. >> reporter: i' m reed binion reporting. >> anchor: well, today some areas of that storm could see up to 10 inches of snowfall every 6 hours and if you plan to take that flight out of cbg today, you have to check your flight status. numerous flights to and from the east coast are delayed or cancelled and that' s a live look there this morning. >> anchor: and other flights got cancelled, too. so she' s at work. and members of the butler county and the manager management agency will be arriving in baltimore. 15 members from butler county fire and police will be spending the week in maryland. emergency workers say they' ll be assisting with logistics surrounding the storm and that staff emergency operation center stand.

virginia college student and wyoming high school graduate is under arrest for acts in north korea. >> anchor: the announcement came yesterday. frederick warmbeer was detained on january 2nd in pyongyang. according to the north korea state media, he entered on a tourist visa and is accused of carrying out, quote, a hostile act against that country. it also says the student allegedly plotted to undermine the north system and has links to the u.s. government. now wyoming high school released a statement saying that man' s family. >> anchor: a long list of snow emergencies are still in effect we' ll have the full list in a few moments. >> anchor: and a live look we' across the tri- state. this, again, one of those roads, kind of in the outlying areas of the tri- state. we' ll get a better picture for

>> and then it is looking live over west chester with the metro parks and butler county cam there. you didn' t see as much as some of the southeastern counties. in west chester we had higher amounts and the farther east and did have lesser amounts to the north and west. now switch things over and take

amounts we did see in some of the counties including aberdeen and west union and about 5 inches on the ground and, of course, it will vary in surrounding areas but we did have about 4 inches in georgetown and hillsborough just over 3. amelia just about 1.5" there. so really quite a spread over the region depending on where you are and one of the reasons why this forecast was such a hard one to forecast for is because we were on the northern fringe of it. notice how we still have numerous warnings posted off to the south and east and we are going to be tracking for us close to home the winter storm warning up until about noon and then as far as the accumulating snow goes, it' s almost winding down. in fact we just have a couple of snow flakes to talk about and the storm tracker doppler radar is part of the masive area of low pressure and this area of low pressure not only was scooping up moisture from the gulf of mexico, but also taking in moisture from the atlantic ocean. that' s why we had a lot to work with.

could amount to very high amounts of snow accumulation, but on the back side of that system, we had a lot of dry air also and i think that really cut down the snow accumulations for the majority of us but still did get the brunt of it over washington d.c.. and the winds shift to the north and that' s the cold forecast for us with the wind chill values and it feels more like 11 and the thermometers are going to read for most places and cloudy skies for the majority of the area and we' ll have dry conditions and we' ll have temperatures near 10 below the seasonal average today and watching for the gradual clearing tomorrow and partly cloudy skies if you didn' t get the chance to shovel the driveway today, you' ll have another opportunity tomorrow. maybe a little snow melt also as temps climb above the freezing mark. back to you. >> anchor: sounds good. we want to send you back s really conditions. so fox 19 now, sarah selly joining us live from maysville. good morning to you!

s already snowing out there! hey, sarah! >> reporter: it is still snowing, yes. it hasn' t stopped snowing. it' s sticking and building on top of what' s already fallen here and this area did get hardest in the surrounding city of cincinnati. folks are waking up to covered streets and covered sidewalks and covered roads and definitely a winter wonderland in the way here in mason county. you do want to be careful. we drove on the highway to get here and it was okay but there were some spots that were slick but we' re okay. if you' re headed out and need to get on that road and any others in the mason county area, you definitely want to take things with you. an emergency kit and that kind of stuff and be aware and make sure people know you' re coming to a destination. you could be involved in accidents if you' re not careful. be aware some roads are not clear and they' ll have you working through and doing that this weekend as we dig out here in mason county. but meanwhile back to you guys.

>> anchor: stay warm! several counties are still under snow emergencies this morning. in ohio, adams and brown are both under a level 2 and that means you need only be on the road if it' s absolutely necessary. several places in kentucky are also under a level 2. lewis, pendleton and mason county where sarah is, and we' ll keep you posted if anything changes. a lot of games cancelled and postponed, but don' t worry. >> anchor: fox 19' s reporters found really plenty of high school basketball games to fill you in on this morning. that' s coming up next in sports. >> anchor: and a live look at seaside heights, new jersey, where they were really affected by the big snow storm. we' re going to talk more about

yet somooth, itould onlbe calle black lk, fromolgers. a ste you uld enjo frh brewedor one cuat a tim

>> anchor: i like this one. the threat of possible snow did not stop some high school basketball teams from getting it done. >> and now have all the highlights from last night. >> i' m joe and my favorite sport is going to be sledding with my son. and you? >> i did it yesterday! >> reporter: it didn' t snow a whole lot and still played a few games. >> some games were postponed but did find a good number of games in the tri- state. let' s roll to walnut hills and anderson! these ladies were singing rap lyrics and dancing. a lot of times they don' t want to be on tv. they wanted to be on tv! >> and the freshmen, the kid just started playing basketball in the 8th grade.

to deanne thony mccallum. more like 3 anthony. and it' s a little summer and snowing and second half for dj bensen and gets the ofbsive rebound and it goes down like the dm. but anderson shot well to start the second half. the clean look for jake newton. that is trouble. anderson fights back the lead by 1 after 3 but back to this freshmen. thing about this kid when he puts on 30 pounds and really learns the game. good look to cory davis. ot at the nut house but walnut never cracked. eagles win by 6 and they' re still dancing. oak hills in princeton playing last night and one of the few brave ones out there. and island sharing the rock and coaches like gaza, i don' t know what else to tell you about that. we can finish there and they keep on a coming. check this out.

the norse starting to win some games in the horizon! that' s 3 out of 4 and by 13 in ot. norse rising. playing for the nuggets back in the day and has a retired jersey in the raptors at third. a couple of nights ago k- mart gave the bear cats a lift in the return to campus. the one- time bear cat great and nba great making the long trek from the cali home and get the win over memphis. spoke with the team at halftime and they responded in a really big way. >> when he shows up it matters to them and recognize they' re part of something bigger than themselves and that' s why it' s great to have them here and then going to take time to see them from california and you need to be thankful for your opportunities. >> and seeing more and see them all the time and can see it' s

just brings us and gives us positivity and people can still just means we' re playing not just with us but them, too. >> you can really tell. just talking to those guys after the game they did give them a boost and talk about it quite a bit. he does live in cali and guy is a stud at uc. >> reporter: if you ask me he' s the best of my lifetime. showing a ton of points but the impact is through the roof. big games today for xavier. also u.k. we' ll have those covered for you tonight on sports rap. he' s jeremy. i' m joe. have a great saturday. >> anchor: thanks, guys. >> anchor: 8:50 now. go outside and check on the conditions. we sent frank there. wonder how he' s doing. hey, frank? >> frank: it came down here. look at this pile and look at all the snow and wait a second. zoom out for a second if we can. no, no, literally this did come down but it came down on this

just the plow pile. here' s the deal, folks, we had about an inch here and notice the parking lot. we' re right here in one of the shopping plazas off east gate and you' ll be able to get to the clearance sell at dicks. go get yourself a basketball! you' ll be able to get out and do your shopping and do what you have to do. the plow crews, here' s the deal. regardless, you know, we' re going to be able to get out and about and plow crews, still and it is folks making some money and then going to work and see the pavement is just wet here in eastgate. we to have a couple of slick spots in the parking lots. even if that forecasted 1- 3, 3" had fallen here, that still would have been manageable. of course catherine' s been explaining all morning long the track which we did think would happen if that track went a little south. nonetheless your saturday

re going to get south and east though with the live shots from sarah and jodi in the storm tracker and it' s a completely different situation. so just a little bit of slush here. about an inch or so and that really is about it here in the east gate area. so let' s go back inside of queensgate where catherine bodac is standing by. >> reporter: hey, hey! >> reporter: we saw pretty impressive snow totals in cincinnati. >> anchor: we' ll show you those in just a bit and first we' ll bring you to the overhead door with the northern kentucky cam and we' ll see skies with the gradual clearing in the forecast today. that' s after that major system went through our area for some parts of us. let' s switch things over. snow is tapering off in those areas where the folks are dealing with those snow showers at the moment and that' s what' s coming to an end over the

you clearing skies and eventually take shape this afternoon and then 10 below the seasonal norm and talk about the chance for wet weather because they' ll arrive this coming week and looking at the rain and snow mix. but that means temperatures will be slightly warmer. the winter storm warning still in effect for the extreme southeastern moments in lewis, mason and take you until about noon today and this is why. we had a lot of snow that has fallen in those locations and roughly 3- 6 inches for maysville, west union, georgetown. of course these numbers can be tweaked a little bit throughout the day as we get more and more reports once all this is said and done. the majority of the southeastern most counties but trace ax mount to nearly an inch for the cream or i should say central counties to the extreme northwestern counties. this morning of us many waking up to a lot of snow and many of us waking up to thot much snow are. snow is really starting to taper off the further south and

of course the snow is working itself out of the tri- state viewing area but we' ll still see a couple of light mist and drizzle showers possible maybe near the west union area. we could have a couple of those still in the brown county areas a little bit farther to the north and west there near maysville also. but that low pressure area spinning off to the east. we had a lot of moisture to work with with the system and that' s why the snow totals out of understand and giving us all that dry air at the surface. with us being on the northern fringe of the system, it made it very hard to forecast for. we had enough cold air to work with and see snow fall but also a lot of dry air, too, that cut down the snowfall accumulations. you didn' t have to go that far

ll continue to see and traveling off to the far south and southeast, you' ll see higher snow totals possible. we' ll clear out a little bit overnight to allow temperatures to fall into the midteens and it' s looking like a very chilly forecast into the overnight, but tomorrow we' ll rebound into the mid30s and we will be talking about those temps over the next couple of days rebounding into the upper 30s and heading into your monday and for your tuesday we' re looking at that rain and snow mixture. the forecast with the temps slowly inching their way up by the time we make it to the end of the coming week. >> cannot wait until next friday, catherine! >> i know, 40 will be nice. any and then we' >> anchor: so we' re in the break and jessica is like look at friday! look at friday! >> anchor: i know! there' s a light at the end of s nice it' s dry today and tomorrow for folks shoveling off the driveways. >> anchor: what does that say

s been! >> anchor: absolutely, catherine. thanks so much. to get a look at what it looks like in the downtown area, the roads look pretty clear and still it can be slick and the snow there, too. we' ll talk more about weather with cath when we come back.

i'm dan wells and i'm jessica brown everyone. m dan wells. >> anchor: and i' it' s the most feared winter season of the year so far that arrived smacking the washington d.c. area all the way to new york. the accumulation is expected to

>> dan: sadly 7 winter deaths are tied to that. they say people will risk getting stuff for hours, marooned in odd hours or, in fact, killed because of that right there. there is just some video from the washington d.c. area and you can see very treacherous this morning. >> this is a dangerous storm. there are way too many people out on the roads now. if you' re not where you need to be, please get there. it' s just going to get worse and it' s going to get worst fast. >> reporter: no traffic. >> dan: much heavier snow and winds gusting to 50 mph and expected on the east coast today. so, again, we are talking about a serious situation. luckily here at home not really the case. we had that line essentially that at least the city and the metro area is north of. >> and we' re fortunate because that' s where we have the most folks traveling and obviously going farther to the south and

the snow and the extreme southeast counties. nothing major close for the downtown area. >> and the area earlier in maysville is still snowing in this hour. >> anchor: we' ll show you the storm doppler radar where it' s starting to taper off. the cold air in the forecast today and looking at quiet weather in the days ahead. >> anchor: and what could have been, we' re following some friends down in nashville. they got like 7 inches of snow. >> i tell you what, and a lot of folks stretching as far south as atlanta. obviously lesser amounts for them, but this is snow they' re not usually used to dealing with so you can imagine it' s causing quite problem and headaches in that region and concerns as well but we got out of the woods, i guess if you will, with this system with the temperatures cold and didn' t see the extreme amounts and didn'

and look live also with our go boot country.com there and wet roads and tricky and dicey for the bridges and overpasses. warning to talk about. you' re going to be under that t - - this system ranged quite a bit. t much distance where you saw not very much snow compared to where you saw a lot of snow and it did range quite a bit over the region here and if i can switch the graphic over, it ranged quite a bit and get that to you for a moment and that' s in effect until about noon today so here' s a look with trace amounts to thed downtown area and higher amounts the farther south and east you went. we'

doppler radar now where you notice the snow starting to taper off and they' ll eventually climb and make it to the low 30s this afternoon which is nearly 10 below the seasonal norm so that snow is going to stick around but a dry day for today and tomorrow and clean out driveways and sidewalks without a problem. back to you, dan and jes. >> all right, catherine, thank you so much. i think. fox 19 now' s jodi bar is out checking road conditions for you. >> live in the storm tracker in mason county. what are the roads looking like where you are right now, jody? >> reporter: we' re actually crossing into bracket county and these are the snow clouds that cleared a path going to the north and south and left cincinnati this morning. roads in great condition.

edge of the storm that' s in clermont, brown, adams county and it looks just like what we found now south here on the double- 8 on the south side of the kentucky river. there are snow accumulations, but nowhere near what could have been on these roads right now. but you see slightly snow covered, slushy, a little sloppy roadway right now. it' s 25 out where we are here. and all we see are snow flurries and a clear path here on the aa. >> anchor: jody, thank you so much. we hope it warms up a bit so the salt really activates and takes care of the roadways. new this morning cold temperatures causing problems for crews battling a 3- alarm fire in pendleton. check out the video. fire fighters arriving at an apartment building on east 12th street early this morning to find those flames ripping through the roof of that building.

re told the building is vacant but the apartments next precaution. thankfully no injuries were reported. road crews did have to put salt down after the water that fire crews were using to put out the flames and began to freeze. no word yet on the cause. we' ll send it back outside this morning because i think that' s really the big talk of the day is the lack of snow we got in some areas and then obviously the snow that we' re showing you in other areas. >> anchor: let' frank. and frank, where you are, not so bad. >> frank: it' s not so bad. out in anderson in the pre- dawn hours and that' s the thing. waking up and going out the window and there' s nothing in my neighborhood. but you' re not saying that if you' re in where jody barr is this morning. this, of course, towards eastgate and if you know jungle jim' s, that' s a busy place. roadways here just wet. more high traveled roadways.

when you pull in the shopping centers and shopping plazas here, because you have the oil coating and slush and half an ground. you get a little more traction. this is going away as it starts to heat up and some of the cigarettes. nice. and you never know what can be underneath the snow. anyway, you look at this and right there. some of this is blowing and an inch to half inch and you' re going to get a blowing snow and can see it over here in the parking lot of the old sears auto center and not trying to make this more than it is, trust me. and when you get this blowing it does accumulate on the sides and just take that into consideration.

absolutely! okay, we' ll go back inside to you guys. >> anchor: frank, be careful what kind of snow you' re grabbing, you know? >> i know! i wonder what else is under here. maybe i' ll find some money! let' s see. no, no. nothing. i could use another warm pair of socks, though. because even though the snow isn' t keeping us out, it is quite cold this morning so layer on up. i' m usually in that warm little studio. not going out back into the cold air. >> anchor: the roles have been reversed! >> reporter: they have been reversed and you know what? i enjoy it! i would like that. >> thank you for being out here. appreciate it. a massive backup on i- 75 in rock castle county has people sitting in traffic even still at this hour because i talked

to earlier in the show is make his way back to the tri- state after being stuck in that for 24 hours but he said he' s seen a lot of trucks off the side of the roadway. so again, pack some patience if you' re south of the tri- state on i- 75 because major problems as you see in the video. >> anchor: and this is in washington d.c.. see the white house? yeah, you can barely see it because of all that snow that' s clouding the lens of that camera there. but the east coast got hit extremely hard. d.c. in particular. we'

moving again on i-75 in east-central >> anchor: all right, 9:11 now. that' s mount aurora. not so bad but still snowy conditions so take your time on

s not so bad there, there are other areas, of course, near lexington that' s a lot different. >> dan: denise just popped in the studio and told us to the south of lexington two jack knifed tractor trailers. again, if you are traveling south, if you thought maybe today would be a good idea to goouth and avoid the snow yesterday, it' s still a major problem in that area. that just into the newsroom. it' s just breaking. and we' ve been following big problems in the area overnight. so cars are finally moving again on i- 75 in east central kentucky. drivers were trapped, in some cases the road closed 35 miles on the highway. there is video from that scene. emergency management teams were making their way to hundreds of stranded cars with water, snacks and fuel. the red cross also set up

the highway finally re- opened about an hour ago and we got to talk to someone trapped in luff land and it shows you a little about humanity in that area. >> absolutely. and the reminder you need the emergency kit in your vehicle because you just don' t know what can happen and after being stranded for 15 hours or more in your car will and then sarah was to go to richmond but we said hey, come into work! we' ll put you to work! >> reporter: she' s? gainesville and how are you doing out there, sarah? >> sarah: it' s funny, you' re right! come into work because we know you' re not on the plane to richmond, virginia, like you were supposed to be. it is snowing but not as

we drove down on the aa highway early this morning to check out conditions at mason county. this is the main drag and folks are trying to make sure it is safe for the people in mason county to get out today. but there are roads that are covered in snow still and even the main drag areas, the main at this time. so cars are going slow. here you go. you have the live right here with cars coming along and see they' re not going at the normal pace they would. this is to enter into maysville and we' re not able to go fast either on the aa highway. there are some areas that seemed a little bit slick. we do have an suv, though, so we were and then it' s a big shame because i'

in- law' s 70th and virginia. hopefully this will all clear up pretty soon. back to you guys. >> anchor: sarah, thank you for that. s speaking what the people on the east coast are dealing with. cancellations and a lot of snow. in some cases, as you were pummeled. they' ll be dealing with snow for the next several days because they received several inches of snow. it' s a heavy wet snow. power outages another concern so this is a massive impact. >> reporter: and felicity. >> anchor: felicity one of the more heavy fitted areas. john sent this east of the city. he' s shoveling his grandma' s driveway so thanks for those. john also sent this photo here and they did get quit and then did a great job shoveling it

imagine if you had to shovel that. >> i wouldn' t! >> anchor: and he took that photograph for us so thank you for getting it our way but what a contrast the system brought not only to us but parts of the east coast. >> reporter: when you guys talked about it we could have gotten so much national getting 7" of snow. i was prepared for that. but i' m thankful we were on the opposite end of that. >> iefmthankful we didn' t get it in the downtown area of cincinnati because it creates concerns out there. even though we did have higher amounts, it stayed in the most pop and then where the banshe cam over king' s island where we do have the light snow and really not much fell in a lot of these areas to the north. let' s switch things over. the snow starts to taper off and you don' t see it over the

east/southeast counties and then we have the batch of accumulating snow winding down. gradual clearing is in the forecast for the rest of the day. we' ll see chilly temperatures in the and the wet forecast. we still have the current winter and then it' s adam' s mason, lewis and areas and did these are some of the numbers we got into the fox 19 now weather center. it ranged quite a bit on where you are. the majority of us here did receive trace amounts upwards to nearly an inch so very low accumulation. but if you need farther to the south and east and did fall on the ground for maysville, georgetown and west union with the higher amounts heading farther to the south and east. here' s the and then the system is moving off to the east and

ocean heading into the rest of re going to see the end of our winter weather. we' ll vesome dry or weather this weather storm is dealing with, it will and then we have high pressure building and that means ?oin in the footballsinger just ahead. >> and for those shoveling near driveways it is clearing off the sidewalks. if you get outside to enjoy, some of that winter weather you' re able to do so even tomorrow with the forecast. tonight partly cloudy skies won' t allow the temperature to bottom out in the midteens so it' s a very cold one for us. bear in mind any bit of wind we have in the wake of the system will create really cold wind chill values because today we' re running nearly 10 below the seasonal average of 39. 30 this afternoon. we have 35 for tomorrow. a little bit of snow melt as we

possible rain andy snow move 40 mark on friday and that continues as we check back to the forecast in the days ahead. back to you. >> that' s because i can shed maybe one layer out of every this week. >> with that said, who has cabin fever? >> anchor: i do. we' ll talk about spring break vacation options! when to buy and when to staterlooking for good deals when we come back. >> and a look outside as well. this is in bracken county and and then you can see it' s areas. we'

saturday to you. fox 19 weather news time is 9:22 and looking over kings island with the banshe cam and we have the light snow covering on the ground there. we didn' t see major accumulation for the majority of the tri- state. but i' ll show you a couple of places here in a moment that did receive higher amounts looking to the south and east and obviously places near washington d.c. that received quite a bit more snow. let' s look at the totals going home and receive quite a few inches near aberdeen and coming in about 4 inches to hillsborough just over 3 and amelia checking in with just over 1.5 inches of new snowfall. so depending on where you are, they did range quite a bit and we' re again on the northern fringe of the system and that' s what made it such a challenge to forecast for and then it' s still posted for folks just off to the east to the east coast. we have a couple to talk about that will take you up until noon. that will be for the

the storm kind of winds on down and moves out of the area. notice how we still have a couple of snow flakes and it is going to drive off into the atlantic ocean and it will bring us at least here in the cincinnati area and the end to the showers and the region and it will track into the afternoon area with the cold temperatures and winds out of the north bringing the wind chill values at 11 and the thermometers are reading 22. it' s going to feel a lot colder on the skin when you factor in those winds out there and today those temperatures will run nearly 10 below the seasonal average. so let' s send things over to you, jessica. >> anchor: even though it' s snowing outside we' re thinking spring this morning and more specifically spring break. this morning loveland and sea travel and get tipos when to start planning the trip. good morning to you! so glad you can join us. this is where we want to be. right on the water and the sun is out. you say now is the time to

>> this is the time to get the spring break vacation. >> this early? why is that? it' s a better deal? >> more availabilities and flights fill up really quickly and especially the lower cost flights and if you' re traveling with a family, it' s important to have the right accommodations. >> good point. also we have something up there. >> yes right now is wave season which is when cruise lines do the best deals so best time to book the cruise or book spring vacation. >> whether it' s a flight or cruise, i' m hesitant to buy travel insurance but you say it' s worth the extra money? >> i always recommend it especially when you travel with kids. if kids get sick before the trip and you have to cancel, you don' t want to lose all the money you just paid for the vacation. >> so it' s worth the extra $20- something dollars to do? >> talk to the travel agent about the best flan for you. >> anchor: everyone wants to go to miami or somewhere warm. but where are the best deals

those destinations? >> you can definitely get a deal with the non- traditional spring break destination and even the u.s. city. people are going to places like austin and washington d.c.. maybe not right now but if it clears up and also ski resorts. people are thinking they want to go to someplace warm and if gusomeplace a little bit colder get a good deal and have less of a battle. >> reporter: that' s a good idea! never thought about that. maybe canada or something like that for a road trip. talk about the importance of maybe going to the travel agent and some of the perks with that. >> with the travel agent we help you get the best deal and right accommodations and help to determine if the certain atmosphere is right for you. if you go to the resort with the family and with the young kids, you probably don' t want a big party resort where there' s a lot of college kids. >> anchor: how would you know about them all? that' s great information. pop up the graphic one more time so folks can remember the things to look for.

do a trip over spring break? this is when you get the good deals. consider a cruise and get travel insurance and non- traditional destinations which is a good point. and thank you so much for coming in and helping us out and start looking for some options. >> and we' ll put them on the website and how you can reach them as well. we'

fox19 weekend morning news at eight-thirty i'm dan wells >> anchor: all right, good morning, everyone. happy saturday. 9:30 now. i' m jessica brown. >> dan: i' m dan wells. we' re watching snow to the south and everyone in the tri- state going whoo! >> anchor: we missed it! >> dan: we missed it. >> anchor: we have questions

t? >> reporter: and that' s what we hear as meteorologists. state didn' t see much and that includes westchester and we see a dusting on the ground as we look live and notice how we still have the winter storm warning in effect now and that will include the stops like southeastern most counties robertson and lewis. we receive nearly 6 inches in some locations and there are isolated pockets and overall looking 3- 6 and i' ll show you this map here that gives you a better idea of what we do have on the ground at the moment. of course, as those numbers come in, we' ll have to update these in a moment. we are starting to see and we did have this range over much tri- state area did receive trace amount upwards to about an inch. that' s the nature of the beast. i tell you what, this is not an easy system to forecast for. we' it. we have a lot of dry air that' s trying to build in on the back side of the system and we have a lot of moisture to work with

s a lot of gulf moisture so do have higher totals from the south and east and just a lot of light dusting and brush creek with snow flakes lingering in your area. winchester the same for you. notice how this is the last bit of that snow associated with this massive system. and the heavier snow obviously off to the east. but we are going to see today a gradual clearing trend. we had some areas receive over about 5" of snow and that means some of us are digging ourselves out today and most of us will be able to enjoy that kind of winter weather we have in store. today we top out at 30 and then it is going to touch 30 and then it' s going to the dry skies and winds a bit chilly to the north and in between about 10- 20 mph and that' s with the factor with a new bit of wind to the forecast and it' s going to feel much, much colder and talk about the chances in about

back to you. >> a lost gains last night were called off because of the weather. >> and now finding some good competition. >> >> good saturday morning! i know a lot of games were postponed and cancelled. we found some games last night. >> the thing is twitter is a great game. if you tweet your game is on or off, if it' s on, we will be. rep the games played were played mostly up north. exhibit a, hamilton. big blue with the game last night with lakota east and east in the black unis and driving north and south on the hamilton defense. east might be the own team, jeremy, who can still catch mason. they can' t lose this one. they don' t lose much. too tall. that' s evan who scored 17 points. and it is going to the

scored more than half of hamilton' s points, 6 3' s and 25 points. and then an ooh play! >> got him! >> those are good. he brought that a game. hamilton down 6 at the half but finds cameron and stapleton and stapleton hits that easy button. hamilton up 1 but east found a way. and dude played in this game now and scored a doz sxen lakota east and beat hamilton by 2. and then got the games up north and will stay in the gmc and this is mason hosting lakota west and then from beil street knocks it down. a good intimidator. a lot of pink at mason last night. with the king of the paint and 10 points and 7 boards and mason' s still going bonkers. they'

carlos! they' re better than i thought they were. and it' s carlos and lewis again on the finish and mason up 28- 7. schmidt, holy nikes! and patches came up and nice jumper for edy and that crossover, though, and the finish. he had 11 points and mason 10- 0 in the gnc. and talk college hoops. something about xavier bigman and jason love and matt and guys who flip the switch their senior years. funny thing about the team and we all thought reynolds would be the big conference big man and x and so far it' s that guy. james far. don' t believe me? chris mack. >> i don' t know if i' ve been

s development during my time as james and it' s staggering. i wish i could go back in time and red shirt him as a freshmen. you can see the 3s he shot a year ago and now. it shows a complete 180 in his mentality and i think his play is as big as any guy in the conference. >> reporter: we put the show on ice this morning. cincinnati' s ice hockey team played the home game last night. now jeremy, the breakaway here and fans didn' t say he broke his wrist but maybe used the other arm. my other arm. >> my other arm. >> i know in hockey sometimes it' s hard to track the puck but not when it makes the gatorade bottle bounce. the cyclones lost last night, 5- 1 with the winter motif. the snow outside and ice hockey. >> my thing is do you honestly think anyone is a failure? sorry. >> reporter: i' ll put him to

ll see you tonight. have a great saturday. >> anchor: thanks, guys! we' ll talk about the weather again. this is a live look in washington d.c.. the white house there close to the top. you see it? a lot of snow in the d.c. area. they' re affected by the snow storm and 2- 3 feet of snow and it' s still coming down as you can see. we' ll talk more about how this blizzard impacts the east coast

you' re taking a live look right s . we have overcast skies and snow coming to an end. we do have a couple of late flurries to talk about in some places and road surfaces and

but as far as big winners go all about snow and have to go to the south and east and that includes west union, georgetown and getting new numbers into the fox 19 weather now center and over 5 inches for those locations. aberdeen. around 5 inches for you in falmouth and 4 in lynchburg and going to about 2. those totals are going to range depending on where you are. the farther north and wrest where you head is really not a winter event at all but if you made your way farther to the south and east, it certainly was. you can still see numerous watches and warnings and advisories posted for those folks on the east coast. we still have the winter storm warning in effect for extreme southeastern counties until about noon and that' s because the snow is still winding on down and part of the massive system really hammering the east coast drawing in moisture not only from the gulf of mexico but for the atlantic ocean also and then talking about dry conditions for the cous of the day and also chilly temperatures settling in and wind chill temperatures close

11 on the skid and it' s factoring in the northerly winds and many are in the low to mid20s. it' s certainly a cold start to the morning and this afternoon is topping out in the low 30s compared to the upper 30s where we should be this time of year. today we' ll hit 30 . tomorrow in the mid30s. and our own jody barr is out and where is it looking where you' re at? >> reporter: well, you see the snow covered truck? we' re on the aa highway in campbell county, kentucky, and it is completely clear here. these roads are just completely clear and dry in some cases and that' s going both ways. but this morning we were in brown county, adams county, back in mason county and kentucky and snow covered roads, snow plows are still out salting and scraping off the roads and here the closer we get back to metro and

and it was that way when we left cincinnati this morning. the snow, again, coming the farthert east you went and the worse the road conditions got but everywhere we went this morning and then no trouble if you were driving slow enough to handle it, and, again, heading back west on the aa and what you see is what you get. clear roadways. not a problem here. back to you guys. >> anchor: all right, jody, thank you so much. by the way there is coffee and bagels back at the station for the crews out there. >> anchor: and i' m glad the roads are looking better in our area of the downtown cincinnati region. but if you' re driving, drive slowly so you don' t have a problem. >> anchor: so coming up on the show, something to warm you up on a cold day. it smells fantastic! a nice little soup recipe you can make at home. >> anchor: and the live look at union township. a lot of snow piling up but that is from the snow plow i

too bad in the area. we checked in and they said the roads are looking pretty good there, too. we'

make me physically ill. #overdraft" how do you respond? sounds like a medical problem. i'd send her to a hospital. "hashtag not the bank's problem." at huntington, she can link with her savings account and then we transfer the money for free. we do that. for a fee of $10. to transfer her own money? hashtag obviously. free transfers from savings when you're overdrawn. welcome to huntington -- one of money magazine's

>> anchor: what a system this has been. i think all my nails are bitten to the bones. it' s been a stressful track because it depended on where you were. farther to the north and the east. not much in the city center. we' ll show you off to the west and those totals in a moment. live over florence and seeing the clouds break apart overhead with our jake sweeney.com kia camera there and we do have slick road conditions to tell but with bridges and overpasses let' s look right now where you

and the snow tapering off and this will include the south/southeast counties for the morning hours. this afternoon everyone will see that sunshine kind of wear away the cloud cover and we' ll have gradual clearing over the region. chilly temperatures are still in the forecast. the temperature trends and we haven' t really talked about temperatures all that much lately because the snow has been our main focus. but we will have those temperatures running 10 below the seasonal average this afternoon and we' ll break down the next chances for wet weather in the 7 day in just a bit. we have the winter storm warning with the extreme south and east adams and mason and lewis and robertson and then the snow accumulations range over the tri- state again and then it' s trace amounts the farth northwest you go and do have lesser amounts in the central portions of the fox 19 viewing area and the higher amounts to the west union and still a couple of snow flakes to talk about in the locations

couple of light snow flakes for you and a few farther to the north ask east and that' s the last bit of that wet weather associated with this massive system and check out all the water we had to work with. that' s why our models were kind of getting out of hand at times. we have all this gulf moisture and have that dry air working in on the back side of the system. so i think that' s what really cut down the snow accumulations. but you really didn' t have to go down that far to get higher amounts and down on the northern fringe of the system and we' ll talk about the slight change in the trek and that' s certainly what we saw in the motion. we' re dry today and looking at partly to mostly cloudy skies in the afternoon and overnight partly cloudy conditions will be in the forecast. we' re clearing out so that allows temperatures to fall in the overnight. we' ll have the temperatures drop in the midteens and it will be cool tomorrow night and many of us will find a little bit above the freezing mark at 32 so we' ll get a little bit of snow melt.

sunshine to melt us out, we' ll see the accumulations go down just a bit. but heading into next week, the rain and snow chance then for tuesday and with those we' re going to see the temperatures eventually rebound and be in the mid40s by the time we make it to your friday and also tracking dry weather across the area. dan, over to you. wine, catherine. >> reporter: sign me up! >> dan: so do you guys at home. and what better way to stay warm at home with a blustery cold day than with a cup of soup. tony bricks is coming in with the easy recipe. chef, thank you for coming in. >> sure. >> dan: and you brought wine especially for the ladies? >> absolutely. >> dan: what are we making today? it' s simple enough. celery, apple and cheddar bisque. >> it' s a pretty simple soup. it' s a pureed soup and cream soup and keeping it a touch

>> dan: what are the ingredients? >> it' s celery root which is a great ingredient. the nice smooth creamy soup but celery flavor. and then the local apple. and we' re going to start off by sweating some onions and not trying to get a ton of color on the soup but coaxing out flavors and with the olive oil and this is easily found at kroger anymore these days. you can get it at jungle jims, obviously it' s a nice celery flavor. this is a little roasted apple and play well with the salary and this is vegetable stock we have here so we' ll go with some of this. >> dan: and what' s the temperature? >> i start off at the high temperature and then drop it down and simmer it. the celery root takes awhile to cook.

to kind of play with the savory notes we want to put sweet notes in hare so this is honey. a little bit of ohio honey. apple cider because we' re using apples and apple juice. and a little bit of vinegar and this is yogurt. and it really works well with the dish. this is the greek yogurt and i like the flavor more. >> dan: and mix it in on the high heat. >> we' ll have it mix together and cook about 30- 40 minutes to make sure everything gets nice and soft. >> dan: and it renders down, right? >> you don' t want to cook it too much because you don' t want too thick of a soup and want the nice consistency like this here and i would start off you can have that vegetable stock on the side and use chicken

>> we turn down like this. >> blend this really nice and smooth and this is the finished product here. so - - >> oh, my gosh! it smells and looks amazing. and 20. >> we are a wine bar. so we specialize, obviously, in wine. but we also are kind of a deal with a lot of local farms and utilize ohio ingredients. >> love that. >> as much as we can this year we' re in the doldrums right now but we' ve been able to use a couple of things. this is an apple butter we actually make, but you can buy store- bought apple butter. this is the savory cheddar gran ola that gives a nice crunch and then a little bit - - just the apple and the text on this. >> dan: and you serve? >> the chardonnay with this. you' ll get apple notes off this and the text book creaminess

>> dan: can we? let' s get catherine a glass because she needs it. >> reporter: she' s been working hard on all the weather hitting the area. definitely want to try this. >> oh, my goodness! thanks, you guys! looking out for me. >> it' s sweet and salty. >> i don' t have a huge sweet tooth but it needs to counter balance the savoriness of the soup. >> dan: and you' re willing to share the recipe with everyone else? >> absolutely. >> dan: that recipe is on our website fox19com we' quick break!

>> anchor: 9:57 now and we have to talk about the weather one more time here. >> it' s been a headache. we' ve been getting a lot of flak but it' s one of the situations. we know it' s the nature of the beast. we had a change in the track that dramatically changed the snow amounts and that could potentially happen. we have so much going on in our

all that moisture with the dry air off the back and also that track. >> dan: we love you! >> anchor: thank you! >> and keep up with the weather updates on the weather app and this is i- 75 with clear roads. good news. thanks for watching. captioning provided by: u.s. captioning company, depere, wi
