CLEVELAND, Ohio (WJW) – There are lingering snow showers Thursday morning.

The Ohio Department of Transportation is patrolling the roads to treat any possible slick spots.

ODOT says it has more than 800 crews out across the state.

As of 3am, we have nearly 880 crews on the road across the state. This is the view from a dash cam in a plow truck on SR-7 near Clarington in Monroe County. Please give all our crews plenty of room to work. #ODOTwinter pic.twitter.com/z7AqpkQjn4
