MAJOR ICE STORM ON THE WAY

Northern and Northwestern Ohio are under the gun for the largest ice storm in the last couple of years. Late Monday night and Tuesday morning expect a period of very heavy freezing rain and sleet across northern Ohio. In NW Ohio this will be more sleet and snow than freezing rain, and several inches could fall. In northcentral and NE Ohio it will be more freezing rain and sleet, and trees and power lines could have over a half inch of ice accumulate on them, so there will be quite a few power outages. Tuesday afternoon the precipitation will become more scattered, but some additional icing problems are possible. Tuesday evening into Tuesday night we will see a period of precipitation that will likily start as sleet/freezing rain and end as snow overnight Tuesday, with light accumulations. This ice could have many negative impacts so stay tuned!
