Ha Ha Ha! Snow!

Gads...you gotta love NE Ohio in the springtime and this year has been really bizzarre. Anyhow, it looks like another round of snow and wind is heading into the area overnight Monday into Tuesday morning.
Total snowfall expect through midday Tuesday.
(Map courtesty of AccuWeather)

The scenario is that a big storm system is heading up the east coast.  That LOW will cause lots of snow to fall in the mountains of Pennsylvania and extreme eastern Ohio. The drop-off in snowfall rates will be rapid (see the map) with the Youngstown area getting up to half a foot of snow by midday Tuesday.  Locally we are looking an inch or two in Portage County and around an inch in Summit County. That's not a lot of snow, but it will be of a heavy, wet variety and combined with strong winds could cause some problems for power lines and tree branches.

During the day Monday we will have occasional rain, then after dark the rain will change to snow.  The snow will continue into Tuesday morning before it changes back to rain. If you plan to head east into the Youngstown/Pittsburgh area Tuesday morning you can expect some nasty driving conditions.

Daytime highs will remain in the 50s the rest of the week.
