CLEVELAND — FRIGID! It's an incredibly cold start to 2026! We're stuck in the teens all day. Plus, I'm not done tracking snow either. There's another round heading our way this afternoon/evening. One more quick round of light snow dropping a widespread Trace to 2".
The outlier will be the primary snow belt. Lake effect snow cranks back up. The primary snow belt will see more lake effect bands set up during the afternoon into the evening and will begin to taper off on Friday. Some areas could see another 6" where squalls persist.
Happy New Year!
