After a nice "fake spring," winter is back in full swing in Northeast Ohio, and it's bringing hazardous road conditions with it.

From Friday at 2 p.m. to Saturday at 1 p.m., the Ohio State Highway Patrol said it has handled about 225 crashes across 15 Northeast Ohio counties.

OSHP said 157 of those crashes occurred on Friday, while 68 of them occurred on Saturday.

One crash occurred around 7 a.m. on Saturday. The crash sent two adults and four children to the hospital after the driver lost control of the vehicle on I-480 in Twinsburg.

The snow began Friday evening and has quickly accumulated on the roads, causing crashes, delays and hazards.

Areas in Northeast Ohio should expect between one and three inches of snow.
