As winter continues to grip Northeast Ohio, residents are being advised to brace for lingering flurries and additional snowfall. The National Weather Service has issued a snow advisory with potential impacts on the evening commute. Areas could see accumulation of more than an inch around Greater Cleveland and even heavier totals in snowbelt regions such as Geauga and Lake counties. Meteorologists indicate that snow showers will persist, even as a gradual warm-up is expected over the weekend. Further complicating matters, FirstEnergy is actively responding to power outages in the region due to the harsh weather conditions, with over 1,300 customers reported without power as of Friday morning. Affected areas include those near Lakewood and Cleveland Heights. ‘We are working diligently to restore power to everyone impacted,’ said a spokesperson from FirstEnergy. Residents are advised to stay updated through local channels for real-time weather alerts and outage updates. The snow is part of a broader lake-effect system that is influencing weather patterns in the region, with an additional winter storm expected to roll in by Sunday. The significant impact of this weather is prompting local authorities to remind motorists to drive cautiously and be prepared for potentially hazardous conditions on the roads.
