HAMILTON — Don’t put that shovel, snowblower or sore back medicine away just yet.

Area residents dug out of more than 6 inches of snow that fell Friday night and Saturday morning, Feb. 5-6, and additional accumulation is expected early this week, according to the National Weather Service.

Meteorologist Don Hughes said the snow should return Monday, Feb. 8, while unseasonably cold temperatures will remain for the rest of the week.

Numerous accidents were blamed on the slick roads Friday and Saturday, according to area police departments and the Ohio State Highway Patrol. None of the accidents were life-threatening, dispatchers said.

While Butler County and Warren County cancelled Level 1 snow advisories early this afternoon, Feb. 7, Preble County downgraded its Level 3 advisory to a Level 1 advisory.

A Level 3 advisory means all roads in the county are closed to nonemergency personnel, and anyone traveling on the roads is subject to arrest. Level 1 meaning drivers are urged to be cautious on area roadways.
