Winter Weather in Columbiana, Ohio

Three teenagers were killed when their car collided with a school bus Saturday morning. The bus driver sustained only minor injuries and no other students on the bus were hurt.

An upper level shortwave crossing the upper Ohio Valley brought light freezing rain through the morning hours of the 22nd. While strong warm advection was ongoing ahead of the system aloft...a strong inversion at the surface did not allow for temperatures to warm above freezing at the onset precipitation. This allowed for a light glazing of ice on untreated surfaces over portions of eastern Ohio, the northern West Virginia panhandle, and counties north of I-70 in Pennsylvania. Several accidents were reported across the advisory area, including a head-on collision between a car and a school bus in Columbiana county, Ohio.
