Winter is back across Northeast Ohio.

Windy again today with gusts of 30 to 40 mph through Tuesday.

Lake effect snow will continue to be a concern in the snowbelt region. With the breezy conditions, visibility will be greatly reduced, with whiteout conditions at times. So take extra time to get anywhere in the snowbelt, especially.

Parts of the snowbelt will see 4 to 8-plus inches, where squalls persist through Tuesday, especially in Geauga County.

Temperatures will remain well below average, with many areas in the low to mid 20s to round out your Tuesday, but wind chills will be in the single digits and teens at times.

More snow will move in for New Year's Eve, as a clipper moves into Northeast Ohio, and behind it, more lake effect sets up to round out 2025 and begin 2026.

Stay warm and stay safe!
