My bf will be going from Louisville, KY to Cincinnati to Ft Wayne, IN on Monday. I know the weather conditions are gonna be bad from now til after Tues. Where is the best place to find out the road conditions before he ends up in a bad situation?
Best sites to check road conditions?

Some of the state sites have traffic cams in them too if he has a laptop he can check real-time conditions along route before he goes. Really helped running jersey into conneticut during this last few days snow event up there. I checked with dispatch for driver reports of conditions and they said a lot of our company guys sat and waited it out but student and I were running and he got valuable winter experience because we were looking at actual conditions not just the standard canned weather radio reports or tv coverage
