Tips provided by Ohio Highway Patrol and FEMA
Wednesday's Blizzard Warning and the weather that comes with it will likely make roads hazardous.

Speed was a factor in 72 percent of the crashes. We haven't had much practice lately in severe winter weather, so it's a good time to remember how to do it right.
