Snow update (Thursday, 2pm)

(Map courtesy of www.accuweather.com)

Colder air is now moving into western and central Ohio. Temperatures will drop below freezing shortly after midnight. Rain will change to snow a few hours before that. The snow will be heavy and wet and accumulate rapidly.

I'm still looking for 2-4 inches of new snow by morning with an additional 3-5 inches during the day tomorrow. Total snow will probably end up being 5-8 inches by the time the snow trails off late Friday. Snow will be heavier to thew north and east of Akron. Snowfall may vary by several inches from one end of the county to the other. The heaviest snow may end up north and east of Ravenna.
