Crash with injuries reported on I-75 northbound in Florence

OUT THERE. 5 A.M. HERE ON YOUR TUESDAY. GOOD MORNING. I’M STEVEN ALBRITTON AND I’M MEGAN MITCHELL HERE WITH KELLY RIPPIN. TODAY IS A WEATHER IMPACT DAY. WE ARE ALREADY SEEING MORE CLOSURES FOR TODAY, INCLUDING CINCINNATI PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THAT FULL LIST IS SCROLLING RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN, AND WE’RE LEADING THE WAY WITH LIVE TEAM COVERAGE, BECAUSE MAYBE YOU’RE WONDERING WHY ALL OF THOSE SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED. OUR STORM TRACKER FLEET OUT THERE THIS MORNING SHOWING YOU THE SIDE STREETS, WATCHING FOR SLICK SPOTS, OF COURSE. BUT FIRST, LET’S CHECK IN WITH METEOROLOGIST RANDI RICO BECAUSE RANDI THE COLD IS THE BIG CONCERN MOVING FORWARD. THE SNOW IS DONE. FOR NOW. WE KNOW THERE’S ANOTHER CHANCE AT IT, BUT THIS IS WHAT’S GOING TO SET IT, SETTLE IN. THAT’S GOING TO MAKE THIS HARD TO CLEAR. THE WINTER STORM ROLLED THROUGH AND IT KIND OF OPENED THE DOOR FOR THAT ARCTIC AIR TO BUILD IN. WE’RE NOT AT THE COLDEST POINT YET. IN FACT, THE CLOUDS OVERNIGHT ACTUALLY HELPED US OUT, MITIGATING SOME OF THOSE TEMPERATURES FROM REALLY FALLING DOWN INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS JUST YET. WE’LL HAVE A COUPLE OF MORNINGS THAT WAY. RIGHT NOW, LOOKING AT THE LIVE RADAR, EVERYTHING IS QUIET. NO SNOW FALLING, BUT PLENTY OF SNOW TO GET MOVED OFF THE ROADS AND SIDEWALKS. AND AS WE’LL BE TELLING YOU ALL MORNING, CONDITIONS VARY. SOME MAIN ROADS LOOK BEAUTIFUL. RAMPS, OVERPASSES, SIDE STREETS. NOT THE CASE. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW, MOST PLACES SITTING IN THE TEENS, WE’VE GOT 20 DEGREES IN CINCINNATI, BUT DOWN AS LOW AS TEN IN MIDDLETOWN, 15 FOR DILLSBORO 15 RIGHT NOW IN FLORENCE AND 13 CURRENTLY IN BATAVIA. THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF A WIND THIS MORNING. IT’S NOT MUCH. IT’S LIKE FIVE, MAYBE TEN MILES PER HOUR, BUT THAT’S ENOUGH TO MAKE THAT WIND CHILL FALL DOWN INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS. IN FACT, IT FEELS LIKE ZERO RIGHT NOW. IN HILLSBORO, A WIND CHILL OF TWO IN BLANCHESTER, THREE IN HAMILTON. FEELS LIKE SIX RIGHT NOW IN INDEPENDENCE, KENTUCKY. SO A VERY COLD START FOR EVERYBODY. LET’S ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT CLOSER AND CHECK OUT SOME OF THE OTHER TEMPERATURES AROUND TOWN. 15 FOR DELTA HIGH AND ERLANGER 13 IN SHARONVILLE THREE RIGHT NOW HAMILTON MORROW. RIGHT NOW IT IS AT 11 DEGREES. SO A COLD DAY. IT’S A WEATHER IMPACT DAY. TEMPERATURES WHILE THE COLD IS SETTLING IN. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE DIDN’T DIVE DOWN TO THE SINGLE DIGITS TO START THE DAY, BUT IT WILL FEEL LIKE THE SINGLE DIGITS THIS MORNING. ROADS. THE CONDITIONS STILL WILL VARY, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AND AS FAR AS SNOWFALL GOES, NONE TODAY. JUST SHOVELING IT AWAY. BUT THERE IS THE RETURN OF SOME SNOW TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. SO HERE’S THE HOUR BY HOUR TO GET YOU INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. RIGHT NOW, 20 DEGREES FEELING LIKE NINE SINGLE DIGIT WIND CHILLS IN THE MORNING. AND EVENTUALLY THIS AFTERNOON WILL MAKE IT TO THE LOW 20S, BUT STILL FEEL LIKE THE TEENS. SO A LOT OF WORK TO DO ON THE ROADS. LET’S GET OVER TO KELLY. SHE’S BEEN TRACKING WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE HIGHWAYS AND THE SIDE STREETS. YES, AND RANDI. WE IMAGINE. OBVIOUSLY, WE’RE NOT THE EXPERTS WE IMAGINE TODAY WILL BE SPENT TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON ALL OF THAT BEFORE THAT DEEP FREEZE SETTLES IN. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT MOSTLY 71 HERE. YOU CAN SEE THERE’S DEFINITELY AREAS THAT LOOK GREAT. A LOT OF THE INTERSTATE LOOKS FANTASTIC. BUT THEN YOU’VE GOT AREAS NEAR THE LYTLE TUNNEL HEADING TOWARD READING ROAD WHERE THE ON AND OFF RAMPS TO THE INTERSTATE ARE STILL VERY SNOW COVERED, WHICH YOU CAN SEE HERE. AND THESE ARE KIND OF UP LITTLE HILLS, DOWN LITTLE HILLS. SO YOU DO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AS YOU’RE GETTING READY TO HEAD OUT AGAIN. THESE ARE CYCLING THROUGH SOME OF THE 71 CAMERAS. AND YOU CAN SEE PARTS OF THE INTERSTATE LOOK AWESOME. SO IF YOU HAVE A LARGELY INTERSTATE COMMUTE, YOU COULD BE JUST FINE THIS MORNING. BUT PLEASE DO BE CAREFUL ON THOSE ENTRY AND EXIT RAMPS. TAKING A LOOK AT THE BIG MAP, WE’VE NOT HAVE ANY CRASHES OR MAJOR ISSUES, BUT AGAIN, DO TAKE IT SLOW. WE’RE ACTUALLY SEEING GREEN OUT THERE THIS MORNING, WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING WE COULD SAY YESTERDAY. SO PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO NAVIGATE AROUND PARTS OF THE DOWNTOWN LOOP. THE 275 LOOP. PARDON ME. LOOKING AT NORTHERN KENTUCKY AGAIN, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE SLOW SPOTS ESPECIALLY. I THINK THE BIG STORY TODAY IS GOING TO BE SIDE STREETS, ON RAMPS, OFF RAMPS AND OVERPASSES. SO WE WILL BE HERE FOR YOU THROUGH THE MORNING TO KEEP YOU UPDATED. 503 OUR TEAM COVERAGE CONTINUES AS THAT HISTORIC SNOWFALL IS KEEPING SOME OF OUR ROADS COVERED. YEAH, THE HIGHWAYS ARE MOSTLY CLEAR, BUT THOSE SIDE STREETS ARE STILL A PROBLEM. OUR TEAM OF REPORTERS OUT THERE IN OUR STORM TRACKER FLEET, FROM NORTHERN KENTUCKY TO OUR NORTHERNMOST COMMUNITIES. LET’S START WITH WLWT NEWS FIVE’S GIACOMO LUCA, WHO IS LIVE ALONG MCMILLEN STREET IN CINCINNATI. GIACOMO, THOSE CITY STREETS ARE WHERE PEOPLE LIVE. THEY’RE WONDERING IF THEY CAN GET OUT THIS MORNING. YEAH, I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, KELLY. AS WE CONTINUE OUR DRIVE UP MELROSE AVENUE. NOW, YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW TIGHT IT CAN BE WITH ALL THOSE SNOWBANKS. REALLY? JUST ENOUGH SPACE FOR ONE VEHICLE. AS WE’VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND GREATER CINCINNATI THIS MORNING, WE’VE SEEN REALLY A VARYING LEVEL OF STREETS. WE COME UP ONTO SOME OF THESE MAIN ROADS, AND THEN IT STARTS TO ACTUALLY CLEAR UP A BIT. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PAVEMENT AS WE MAKE OUR WAY HERE ON THE EAST. MCMILLAN. OF COURSE, THE SITUATION AS YOU’RE OUT ON THE ROAD EARLY THIS MORNING, YOU’RE JUST GOING TO WANT TO TAKE IT SLOW BECAUSE YOU’RE GOING TO COME UP ON THESE ROADS THAT ARE PRETTY CLEAR, LIKE HERE ON MCMILLAN. OF COURSE, YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR SOME OF THOSE LARGE PIECES OF SNOW. THE SNOW BANKS THAT HAVE KIND OF POPPED UP AS THOSE PLOWS TRY TO MAKE IT THROUGH. BUT OF COURSE, WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR TURNS, ALSO GOING TO WANT TO TAKE IT SLOW. WE’RE TAKING A RIGHT NOW ONTO CHATHAM STREET, AND YOU CAN JUST SEE HOW TIGHT IT IS TO GET THROUGH HERE. FOLKS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE SHOVELING EARLY THIS MORNING JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT. YOU CAN SEE EVEN ON THE TOP OF THEIR CARS, 5 TO 6IN OF SNOW, STILL SITTING THERE. SO GOING TO BE A LOT OF CHALLENGES AND A VERY SLOW START FOR ANYBODY OUT AND ABOUT EARLY THIS MORNING. THAT NEEDS TO BE. WE’RE LIVE IN CINCINNATI
