Miami County, Ohio--State route 41 was a mess to say the least Saturday morning.

For five hours between Covington and Troy the rural route was shut down because of snow packed pavement, large drifts and numerous car slide-offs.

Miami county remains under a Level 2 Snow emergency. Those who have to be on the road are advised to use extreme caution because the roads are considered to be extremely hazardous.

With that being said I-75 and other major roads are very clear one day after the storm that dropped about six inches of snow across the county.Roads Still Problematic in Spots

Obama in plea for health care: 'We need courage'
March 15, 2010 13:45 EDT

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- President Barack Obama is delivering a new appeal to Congress on health care -- "we need courage."

Addressing a crowd in Ohio on Monday, Obama was briefly interrupted by a woman who shouted, "We need courage." He quickly adopted the line and repeated it.

Obama had used his speech to try to reassure seniors that his health care plan will make Medicare stronger.

Obama and congressional Democratic leaders are scrambling to secure the support for his top domestic initiative, with votes possible later this week. They are trying to persuade nervous Democrats to back the legislation. Obama's Ohio appearance was his third campaign-style event in a week.
