NESDIS satellite image from 12/14 at 1545Z/1045am
NOAA NESDIS satellite view from 12/14 at 1045 AM EST
This synoptic event brought upwards of 8 inches to the area over a 18-24 hour period starting in the early morning hours on Saturday, December 14th and tapering off Saturday night. Lighter snow persisted across northeast Ohio and northwest PA into the early morning hours on Sunday. An area of low pressure moving up the Ohio Valley led to the widespread light to moderate snowfall. Temperatures warmed enough that a mix and/or a brief changeover to rain occurred across portions of the Mahoning Valley to the Central Highlands including Youngstown, Akron-Canton, and Wooster. Locations northwest of the low track received the most snowfall from this system.
