Traffic is shut down on 275 just north of Cincinnati after an accident this morning involving nearly 80 vehicles. Reportedly all caused by a "major gust of snow."
Video has some NSFW language.

I believe there was also a 50 car pile up on Southboud I75 near Middletown too.

Did get pretty nasty here in west central ohio as well for a bit. It gets dangerous when it is fine out and then a clipper of snow comes up and gives white out conditions!

I read that there's quite a few that are in critical condition. I hope that none of them turn into fatalities from this accident.justincredible;1371257 wrote:Yeah, but looking at the pictures it's absolutely amazing that there was only one.
The news report said that there were several cars that were trapped underneath semi-trucks when paramedics arrived.

I was on 270 about a 1/2 before the one in Columbus and it was close to a white out at times then.

This is pretty scary. I don't drive on the outerbelts too often but am driving a long way every day and have hit these type things before....but not a high volume traffic.
I try to maintain the car length per 10mph rule around those outerbelts...but even that probably doesn't help much because the people behind probably aren't doing that.

Was out and about today. Some whiteout conditions and wind dropped a quick inch. People weren't handling it well to say the least.

No pileups I have heard of in NE Ohio. Have had similar weather conditions.
