Late Season Snow Drops up to 11 Inches across Northern Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania

 

A late season snow brought significant accumulations to portions of northern Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania overnight Friday into Saturday morning.  The Toledo area received the highest snow of the season with 7.8 inches recorded at Toledo Express airport with some areas in northwest Ohio reporting as much as 11 inches.  The snow was courtesy of a rapidly strengthening low pressure system that moved southeast across the lower Great Lakes Region.  Precipitation began as rain in northwest Ohio late Friday afternoon and transitioned to snow during the early evening.  As the storm intensified, bands of snow set up across northern Ohio and Lake Erie. The snow contained a high water content (liquid to snow ratio) which weighted down trees, bushes, and spring plants.  Several reports of downed trees were received across the Toledo area as well as isolated location in northeast Ohio.
