Lake Effect Snow Headed to Cleveland Heights

The National Weather Service has issued a Lake Effect Snow Warning for Cleveland Heights and Cuyahoga County through Saturday morning

With the dropping temperatures in Cleveland Heights comes more snow - up to a foot, according to the National Weather Service. The NWS Cleveland Office has issued a Lake Effect Snow Warning for Cuyahoga County until 6 a.m. Saturday. Snow showers and wind we're seeing now will continue steadily through tonight and into Friday, the NWS warns, dumping 6 to 12 inches on the area. If the wind shifts, some regions could see more than a foot of snow. Winds between 20 and 30 miles per hour, with stronger gusts, could cause drifting and blowing snow, making travel hazardous, especially on Interstate 90. The NWS warns that visibility could be reduced to half a mile.

Why aren't the roads plowed better? Even the main roads like Cedar are thick mushy slush still with a little sand mixed in for show. They need to get rid of more of the mush that's accumulated on main roads at least.   more ›
