CINCINNATI (AP) -- Winter weather likely contributed to at least one fatality in Ohio, when an 18-year-old woman lost control of her car and crashed into an oncoming snow plow on a highway northeast of Cincinnati.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said Jessica Galley of Mason was killed about 3 p.m. Wednesday when she lost control of her car on southbound Interstate 71, drove across the median and crashed into a northbound Ohio Department of Transportation plow.
Although the worst of the storm was over Wednesday night, drivers across the state were preparing for a slick commute Thursday morning as plow crews continued to work to clear roads of snow and ice.
Strong winds and snow whipping across Ohio all day Wednesday caused scores of accidents, lane closures and grounded flights.
The death toll from the storm that pushed through the nation's midsection into the Northeast has risen to 7.
The storm is expected to drop one to two feet of snow on parts of the Northeast just a day after it swept through the nation's middle, dumping a record snowfall in Arkansas and ruining holiday travel plans.
The National Weather Service says the Northeast's heaviest accumulations will be in northern Pennsylvania, upstate New York and inland sections of several New England states before the storm heads to Canada on Friday.
Despite the wet weather, no flights are delayed Thursday morning cities like New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
