Heavy snow blanketed parts of Northern Ohio early on April 9.
After a winter with about half the normal snow for Northern Ohio, Mother Nature threw us a cold and snowy curve ball for early April.
Surface low pressure slid across the northern-most counties of Ohio on the evening of April 8 and early morning of April 9, bringing with it a narrow band of heavy snow to parts of the NewsChannel 5 Viewing Area.
The low pressure produced a narrow band of 1" per hour snow fall from near Sandusky to just north of Cleveland and east into Lake and Ashtabula counties early on April 9. Snowfall for the event ranged from about 2 inches near Akron and Canton to 6 inches across the Greater Cleveland Area. The heaviest snow fell from near Painesville (10" in Lake County), southeast to Pierpont (10.2" in Ashtabula County).
At Cleveland Hopkins Airport, 4.6 inches fell during the storm. Four inches of that was measured on April 9. This was the highest daily snowfall total for Cleveland for the 2015-2016 Winter...and it occurred almost three weeks into Spring!
Here are the snowfall reports from the Cleveland National Weather Service
