Trumbull County could see as much as 10 inches of new snow by 7 p.m. Wednesday
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning beginning at 8 p.m. today. The service's Cleveland office said Trumbull could have 3 to 5 inches fall tonight and another 3 to 5 inches on Wednesday.

I don't think we're going to get much of that freezing rain/sleet mixture. That seems to be staying about an hour south of us. Looks like ours will be just about all snow. Based upon recent history, I doubt very much that the schools will be open in the morning.

| Re: Here we go again!! I cleaned 5-6" of very heavy, wet snow off the drives this morning. The plows have been through, but there's about half an inch of pure ice on the roadway. As I was clearing the drive it started raining for about half an hour, then started sleeting before it changed back into big, fluffy, white snowflakes. It's been snowing that way since about 8:30 or so. Drives are already recovered with white. Schools are all closed... I imagine the roads are a real mess, locally, based on how the street out front looks.
It appears that one of the plows got a little aggressive... my mailbox is turned about 15 degrees from perpendicular to the street. Oh well, another thing to add to my spring "To-Do" list! At least they didn't knock it down completely!!!

| Re: Here we go again!! Son was just here with his truck w/plow. Came inside for 1 minute...actually took him 3 minutes to go from driveway to backdoor...walking...cuz the snow was up to his kness (he's 6') ! 
He just finished doing the driveway, neighbor
s driveway, and corner neighbor's driveway - took about 1hr. He then went to the front of my house (I have a corner lot), and shoveled the sidewalk and up to my front steps (so mailman can deliver my mail). That took him another 15 minutes.  Got to love my son. I had asked him why he wasn't at work (he's Dent Wizard out of North Olmstead) and he said can't see the vehicles to fix them, so he doesn't have to work.
Before he got to my house, he did his own in Amherst, his f-in-law's 10 blocks away from mine, he'll be doing his sister's driveway (up the block from me), and then head home to Amherst.
Just love that young man (he'll be 37 on Feb 1), but I HATE this damned snow!
City smalltruck plow was by 2x, did a so-so plow job 3 minutes before son got here. Streets are really crappy to drive on.

| Re: Here we go again!! Thats pretty much the way it is around here, too. Streets are snow-covered but very passable. The plows are starting to go around and clean the edges back to where they should be, and moving the piles back up off the road intersections. Their initial attempts were to just "make a path". Now they're fine tuning their work. Seems colder than hell today, though, for some reason. I just cleaned out the bottom of my daughter's drive and damn near froze. And I only out a few minutes. Seems much colder than yesterday.

| Re: Here we go again!! At 40 it will be okay, and its only for one day. What would be a problem is if it warms up to the fifties or sixties for a couple days, which I have a feeling is exactly what it going to happen.

Of course, the one day I leave the truck out overnight, is the one day that it chose not to start this morning. New battery and it still wouldn't start. Waiting for the tow truck to haul it away to see what the hell's wrong with it.

| Re: Here we go again!! I heard/saw that this was all lake effect stuff. Saw pictures of the lake on the weather yesterday, and there's still a lot of open water. Ice is only near the shoreline. With the wind coming dead out of the north, you guys are going to get nailed over and over until the lake freezes over.

| Lake effect snow in Dayton? I never heard of it getting that far south. They did say that Mansfield could feel the effects of these northerly winds and lake effect snow bands, though. I didn't think they ever got so far south as Dayton. Wow!
I was out today, putting a new battery in my truck, and I thought it was much colder than it really was. By the time I got done, I was chilled to the bone. I know it wasn't that cold (around 24º) but there was just enough wind to make it seem like it was bitter cold. What really pissed me off was that it, obviously, was not the battery. It still wouldn't turn over with the new battery in it. I called for a tow truck to have it taken to the dealership down the street. I wasn't about to play around with it when it was so basted cold. The tow truck driver grabbed my keys and gave it one more try and the damn thing started right up. He suggested that I just drive it down and save the towing expense. I asked him what I owed him and he declined any payment at all. I had about five bucks on me so I gave him that as a tip, and told him the coffee, at least, was on me. I suspect the starter or solenoid switch is shot. I drove it to the dealership and left it for them to check out. They went out and it started right up... again. They still have it, so I'm assuming they're trying to get it to act up again, after sitting all night in the cold. They told me they were going to get right on it and would call me when it was ready. I never heard from them so I'm guessing they did not find the problem.

| The forecaster on one of the Cleveland channels expounded tonight that some areas could receive as much as a foot or more of this lake effect event. They said they had word of some areas already getting 6" or more and less than a mile away... just a dusting... up to an inch. he said that as long as the wind keeps coming out the north the snow will continue to fall. Not until the wind shifts around to the west will the snow end.

1 edit | I just came in from doing the drive for the third time today. There was about 3" of new stuff... just since about noon. We're definitely getting more than we did with the last storm. The plows were around before daybreak today, but they're most certainly losing ground. The street out front has at least 4-5" laying on it. I haven't seen hide nor hair of a city plow since early this morning. But, then, I really don't have to go anywhere so I'm just hunkered down for the duration. May try the grocery store tomorrow... to pick up a few odds and ends that are on sale this week.

As to the weather right now - it's cold, but no snow. What snow did fall is in batches on the lawn, mine at least.
Tomorrow may be different, of course.
