Here's our comprehensive list of all the snow-related traffic activity:
Interstate 90
Officials with the Ohio Department of Public Safety have issued a traffic warning for Interstate 90 in Lake County. The highway is open, but drivers should expect delays and give themselves extra time when traveling.
Heavy delays and severe weather are causing the delays, and officials are urging motorists to stay home and avoid traveling if possible.
Interstate 90 has been mired in accidents and delays over the past several days, most notably the 20 car pileup that closed the highway for a day.
Highway officials in Chardon completely closed the ramp from State Route 44 to I-90 Eastbound for several hours due to heavy snowfall. They say several vehicles and a semi-trailer are stuck on the ramp, blocking the entirety of the road.
Officials warned of blizzard conditions in Lake County, and warned drivers of low visibility. Travelers are urged to stay home and avoid traveling if possible.
