winter weather

Safety and health officials from the city of Cleveland shared tips for staying safe in a cold Northeast Ohio winter weather during an online briefing Thursday.

Warmer weather in Northeast Ohio means the snow is melting, but snow runoff could be filled with trash and waste that may have a negative impact on our environment.

The snowfall is slowing down and the National Weather Service expects less than half an inch of snow accumulation Friday afternoon. But the wind chill Friday night could make it feel like -2 degrees.

Conditions on Northeast Ohio roads are deteriorating as snow continues to fall, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

The worst of the winter storm is coming Thursday afternoon and evening, according to the National Weather Service. Parts of the region may see snow falling at a rate up to an inch per hour.

But the Ohio Department of Transportation says it has prepared crews to work around the clock.

The snow plows are ready and loaded with salt, but Ohio Department of Transportation crews were unable to pre-treat roads because of rain that would have washed off the brine.

Be prepared, make a plan, and check on your older neighbors and loved ones. That’s the message from the Ohio Department of Aging as a multi-day winter storm sweeps into the state promising to dump more than a foot of snow on some parts of Northeast Ohio.

Uncleared areas can make it difficult to get around or even prevent people with mobility challenges from getting where they need to go, which can result in health consequences.

Fifty buses around Cuyahoga County got stuck in the snow after a snowstorm Sunday night and Monday morning.
