The mayor asks residents to stay off the road if possible so the Snow Warriors can clear the streets. He also advises checking on your neighbors who may be seniors or people with challenges or disabilities to make sure they are OK. Snow began impacting the central Ohio area for some on Sunday afternoon and will continue through the night into Monday morning, with the heaviest snow occurring overnight. Several inches of snow, possibly more than four inches, appears likely for many in central Ohio. These totals will only rise the farther south you go. Travel will likely be difficult, if not impossible, at times — especially across our southern counties late Sunday through Monday. Snow will taper some by Monday after sunrise, but will likely pick back up in some spots by the afternoon. All regions should be back to quiet, yet bone-chilling weather by Monday night. Columbus residents can track the progress of the Snow Warriors here.
