Cleveland is experiencing a winter wallop as a low-pressure system and its cold front exit, yielding a strengthening trough that will hover over Lake Erie through the weekend. According to the National Weather Service, Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania are already seeing the changeover from rain to snow, particularly in areas above 1000 feet. Although some spots accumulate measurable snow, others, especially those near Lake Erie or lower elevations, still experience rain as the dominant form of precipitation due to mid-30s temperatures that inhibit snow from sticking.
