When it was all said and done, most areas received 8 to 12 inches of snow, with isolated higher amounts in the snowbelt counties of Lake, Geauga, Ashtabula, and Erie, PA, where amounts of 12 to 16 inches were observed. Some of these areas did not transition to snow until Thursday evening. Additionally, warm air aloft due to strong warm air advection allowed for persistent freezing rain and sleet to fall across some of our southern counties, specifically from Knox to Trumbull Counties. This new low was responsible for reinforcing moisture advection aloft and the redevelopment of moderate to heavy snowfall across the region Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. A new low pressure developed over the lower Mississippi Valley Thursday morning, moving north-northeast along the aforementioned cold front to the mid-Atlantic region by Friday morning. Moderate snow accumulations of 2-5” were observed across northwest Ohio by Thursday morning. With the frontal passage, rain transitioned to snow fairly quickly, with a brief wintry mix of freezing rain and sleet. The cold front slowly moved east across the area Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night, settling across central Ohio by Thursday morning. Precipitation developed ahead of the cold front, falling as rain Tuesday into Wednesday. Deep moisture advection extending from the Gulf of Mexico brought warm, moist air into the region. A strong cold front crossed the central Great Lakes on Tuesday, February 2, reaching northwest Ohio by Wednesday afternoon.
