In addition to snow showers, the winds presented a challenge to ODOT crews.

“Crews are dealing with a lot of blowing and drifting snow,” said Bruning.

He posted two photos that showed drifting snow on U.S. 127 south of U.S. 40 south in Preble County.

Bruning also asked drivers to give ODOT crews room to work and check OHGO.com for travel information.
