Update published Monday, February 16 at 8:09 a.m.: As snow piles up Monday, municipalities are adding to the list of announcements and warnings. Boone County has joined Switzerland and Gallatin counties in going on a Yellow or Level 1 travel advisory. Greendale city manager Steve Lampert is asking city residents to park off the street where possible in order to assist city snow plows in clearing snow from the streets. Original story published Monday, February 16 at 6:54 a.m.: (Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Snow is quickly accumulating with the morning arrival of a winter storm system in the tri-state. Most of the Eagle 99.3 listening area is expected to receive four to eight inches of snow Monday, say meteorologists, with the highest amounts to the south such as Gallatin and Grant counties in northern Kentucky. A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for the entire tri-state through 5:00 a.m. Tuesday. Many southeast Indiana school districts - those who did not already have no school Monday due to Presidents Day - called for closings just as the first flurries started falling around 5:30 a.m. That's because travel conditions will deteriorate quickly throughout the day. Colleges including Northern Kentucky University, University of Cincinnati, and Thomas More College have cancelled classes for Monday. You can find our full list of closings and delays here. The Indiana Department of Transportation says the worst conditions will come as the snow is falling. It takes each INDOT plow truck two to three hours to complete a single route. Plow truck drivers are on call around the clock for 12 hour shifts. TRACK THE STORM WITH INTERACTIVE WEATHER RADAR ON EAGLE 99.3'S WEATHER PAGE. Adding to the difficulty in clearing the roads of snow and ice will be temperatures well below freezing. Monday's high temperature will only reach about 18 degrees with wind chill factors as low as -1. To help in melting snow on the roadway, highway crews are mixing road salt with sand or specialty chemicals. The snow is going to be powdery and light, say weather service meteorologists, but secondary roads will be the slowest to improve due to this week's frigid temperatures. If you do hit the road during this winter blast, AAA of Cincinnati has some advice. “Stay out of the pack, stay alert, look around and leave yourself an out. Your goal is to be proactive, rather than reactive," says AAA Corporate Public Affairs Manager Cheryl Parker. Some counties have began issuing travel advisories. Switzerland County issued a yellow (level 1) travel advisory at around 6:00 a.m. Monday through 10:00 a.m. Tuesday. you can track local travel advisories by county here. "County roads were pretreated and crews are on standby," says Switzerland County EMA director Connie Wallace. "State highway is treating roads now... ...Roadways will become more hazardous as the day goes on." Eagle 99.3 is encouraging you to share your winter storm photos with us.
