As northern Ohio continues to recover from yesterday's major ice storm, another major snowstorm is waiting to come in. Looks like mainly snow with 1-4" in extreme NW Ohio, and 4-8" in SE Ohio with some mixing, and the jackpot of possibly over 12" of snow over NE Ohio. This storm is not lake effect, so everyone will have an equal oppertunity of HEAVY snow and even some high winds on Saturday. It looks like SE Ohio could see some sleet/freezing rain mixed in Friday afternoon which will cut down on accumulations. As of now, it looks like moderate to heavy snow will spread across Ohio during Friday morning, continue through Friday afternoon, and Friday night. Saturday the snow will taper off in western Ohio, but as the main low passes by eastern Ohio will continue to see heavy snow and the winds will pick up, leading to near blizzard conditions. I expect anything leftover Saturday night to be flurries. This event will not be a quick hitter and will last around 24 hours in the west and as long as 36 hours in the east. This could be the biggest widespread snow event in the winter, so stay tuned! As of this evening there were still close to 40,000 people still in the dark due to yesterday's ice storm.
