Winter storm on the way

   Next week is looking rather nasty. Early in the week a storm system will move out of the Rockies, down into Texas, and then up the Ohio Valley. For us that means snow with perhaps a bit of sleet and freezing rain mixed in.

   Based on the current projections, the fun should begin in NE Ohio after midnight on Tuesday and continue into the day on Wednesday.  Forecast models are showing between 4-10 inches of snow, depending upon whether or not we mix in the freezing rain and sleet.  As always, the exact track of the storm will make a difference. On the current track the Greater Akron area should get lots of snow, but if the storm moves a bit farther north, then we will get the mix.  We won't really know until it happens. Anyway you look at it, overnight Tuesday and during the day Wednesday won't be so nice.
   More as we know it.  Meanwhile, plan ahead.
