Snow showers have moved out of the Cincinnati area, but don't put the shovels away just yet, because more snow is on the way this week. LIVE RADAR // CLOSURES & DELAYS // WEATHER ALERTS // SNOW EMERGENCIESThe snow Monday into Tuesday dropped between 3 to 9 inches of snow for most areas.The storm also dropped some sleet, which caused some hazardous conditions on roadways.The sleet caused previously forecasted snow totals to be cut back significantly across much of the area.
