The snow that has blanketed northern Ohio caused about two dozen accidents in our area, most of which were reported as vehicles sliding off slippery roadways.

In Geauga County, a man was killed in a two-car crash, the State Highway Patrol said.

At least six inches of snow has fallen and the National Weather Service said up to a foot of snow is possible before the storm ends tonight. Forecasters warned that strong winds will cause drifting and blowing snow.

Freezing rain and snow is in the forecast for central Ohio.

Most schools, as well as the University of Toledo, University of Akron and Kent State University, called off classes today.

In Toledo, I-75 was shut down for four hours this morning after a tractor-trailer slid onto its side.
