When Punxsutawney Phil came out of his hole Saturday morning in Pennsylvania he said spring is coming soon, but don't tell that to anyone here in the Tri-State.

Police in all parts of the Tri-State are responding to multiple calls as cars lose control and slide off the roads.

In Florence, one car rolled over around 8:10 a.m. on the I-71/75 entrance ramp at Turfway Rd.  The driver was not injured.  A few minutes earlier a car spun out on southbound I-71/75 near Route 18 in Florence.

There were several calls to I-275 near Route 747 in Sharonville for cars off the road.  

Cincinnati Police officers responded to 6th and Race around 9:30 a.m. after a three-car chain reaction wreck.

A car hit a truck on Lonsantiville Ave. in Golf Manor around 9:45 a.m.  The truck then ran into a residential building.

As of 10:15 a.m. Gallatin County issued a level one snow emergency. Driving conditions are hazardous and drivers need to stay off the roads.

Franklin County, Indiana has issued a level two travel watch which means to be on county roads only if absolutely necessary. 

Independence issued a snow emergency which means drivers need to get their cars off the streets so the city can plow the road.

Margaritavile, welcome to Ohio, rookie. In Maine, all you had to contend with was the snow and ice. In Ohio the goal is somewhat more advanced. While negotiating the snow and ice you also need to be wary of drivers who have absolutely no clue how to drive in snow (or ice, or rain, or, for that matter, dry pavement). A challenging aspect of navigating Ohio roads is drivers with bald tires; and what would a winter drive in Ohio be without the occasional drunk? Now if you manage to survive all those obstacles, remember to keep your senses. It’s not over yet. Before you cross the finish line please keep in mind that some of our bridges are equipped with rock throwers and/or snipers. Are you having fun yet? Welcome to the Majors, Margaritavile, and good luck out there!

Seriously learn to drive or don't drive at all. I personally lived in Maine for 22 years and coming from there this little bit of snow should not cause wreaks or accidents.
