Winter woes: Snowstorm shifts south dodging northern Ohio as snow drought continues

It looks like the dearth of snow this winter in northern Ohio will continue.

There was some hope for snow lovers for some shovable snow across the region Monday night into Tuesday but the National Weather Service says the track of the storm system making its way across the country has shifted south.

Some snow showers are still possible with little or no accumulation expected.

There could be some lake effect snow in extreme northern Ohio on Tuesday.

Highs for the week will be in the upper 30s and mid 40s with a chance of a rain and snow mix on Thursday.

Where’s the snow in northern Ohio?

This has been far from a typical winter in northern Ohio.

The National Weather Service says all of northern Ohio has not had much snow − aside from a snowy and cold week in January.

For Akron and Canton around 11 inches have fallen so far this winter season − about 20 inches shy of a so-called typical year at this point.

And it’s even worse in Mansfield where just 6 inches have fallen so far this winter − down 26 inches from the norm.
