COLUMBUS, Ohio — Several inches of snow are accumulating in central Ohio on Saturday as a winter storm continues to move through the area. Snowfall totals currently range from 1 to 4+ inches across the region. Before making plans to head out, check to see if your county is under a snow emergency.

A lake-effect snow warning and winter weather advisory are now in effect across Northeast Ohio as heavy snow, blowing snow and poor visibility threaten travel throughout the weekend.

Two winter systems are expected to bring several rounds of accumulating snow to central Ohio beginning tonight and continuing into the weekend.

Widespread, steady system snow that developed Saturday afternoon will start to taper off from west to east across Northeast Ohio Saturday evening.

The snow started in the early afternoon and has been falling since. As of this writing (6:30 P.M. Saturday) steady snow is hitting the area and road crews have been working hard to keep the streets clear which has required repeated plowing.

Another round of snow and winter weather will hit Ohio. Here's how much snow Ohio will see, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
