Matt Bruning, ODOT spokesperson, said almost 900 crews across the state are treating the roads, according to a social media post.
He said three snowplows got hit in Southern Ohio on Sunday.
“Very frustrating news to share. We’ve had THREE of our snowplows struck today in southern Ohio. This brings us to 12 plows hit this winter. We had 22 all of last winter. Please, give us room to work!”
ODOT Cincinnati said on social media that over 200 ODOT trucks are in southwest Ohio.
“There are currently more than 200 ODOT plow trucks out in SW Ohio. Conditions could worsen overnight, so if you don’t have to go out, stay home. It’s messy out there,” they said.
