Lake Effect Snow Warning issued December 5 at 3:50AM EST until December 6 at 4:00AM EST by NWS Cleveland OH

* WHAT...
Heavy lake effect snow. Additional snow accumulations between 5 and 10 inches with locally higher amounts where bands persist. The highest totals will generally be in the higher terrain of the warning area, including all of Geauga, southern Lake, eastern and southern Cuyahoga, northern Summit, northern Portage, and northwestern Trumbull Counties. Winds gusting as high as 55 mph near the lakeshore with gusts to 45 mph inland.

* WHERE...
A portion of northeast Ohio.

* WHEN...
Until 4 AM EST Friday.

* IMPACTS...
Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow. Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Travel could be difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the commutes this morning and evening. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches and power lines.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
An Arctic front and associated snow squall have crossed the area this morning and has allowed for some travel impacts across the region. Lake effect snow bands are developing and will be the main concern for the rest of the event through tonight. Strong wind gusts as high as 50 mph may result in blowing snow and local reductions in visibility. Additionally, the gusty winds and density of the large snowpack across far Northeast Ohio could result in damage to structures.
