CINCINNATI (AP) — Strong winds and snow whipped across Ohio roads, causing accidents, lane closures and emergency travel restrictions, and grounded some flights Wednesday as a major storm system pushed through on its way to the Northeast.

The northern part of the state, including Cleveland and Ashtabula, had been under a blizzard warning earlier Wednesday. The National Weather Service later canceled the warning and issued a winter weather advisory. The system still was expected to bring up to four inches of evening snow, and wind gust could reach 30 mph.
