Overview
- Reporters confirm there is no statewide ban on roof snow or ice in the three states, yet drivers can be cited when it creates a hazard.
- Kentucky troopers point to KRS 189.290 and KRS 189.110, and Indiana relies on Title 9 provisions covering obstructed views or interference with control.
- Ohio State Highway Patrol says most violations are minor misdemeanors, with penalties that can increase if a crash causes serious injury or death.
- It is illegal to drive with snow or ice covering windshields, headlights or brake lights, and incidents like sliding snow or flying ice can trigger citations.
- After up to a foot of weekend snow, gusts near 20–30 mph continue to reduce visibility, so officials urge drivers to clear vehicles to improve safety.
