Depends where your at in Ohio and your definition of "lots of snow" .Really. I thought Ohio is supposed to get lots of snow.....
Usually the snow we get comes from the south. When that happens we get hammered. One year we got 20 inches in one storm.Depends where your at in Ohio and your definition of "lots of snow" .
Up in the snow belt in Northern Ohio they do get a lot of lake effect snow. But any lake effect snow here in Central Ohio from either Lake Erie or Lake Michigan seldom amounts to more then an inch or two at most.
Second source of Ohio snow is Alberta Clippers coming in from the NW. They are similar to the lake effect with 2-4" max snow.
Third source is from low pressures coming up from Texas. These guys are the ones that can give us some serious snow of 4-6" plus with the optimum storm track and available moisture.
Once in awhile we'll get a storm backing in or riding along the East coast from your area. But we are far enough from the coast that they mostly affect Eastern Ohio.

There you have it. More then you ever wanted to know about Ohio winter weather.![]()
I had a ball. I hope we get more snow this year. Now its just really cold and no snow.Looks like you had some fun!
I think the last time we got anything near that depth from one storm in this particular county was back in 1950. We seldom breech 4-6" from any one storm.Usually the snow we get comes from the south. When that happens we get hammered. One year we got 20 inches in one storm.

We were in the red part in the middle of the state.
This storm was not supposed to happen. The weather forecasters said we would have a 25% chance of precipitation the night before the storm. I remember waking up and it was a foot and a half of snow on the ground. Everything was shut down for 2 weeks.I think the last time we got anything near that depth from one storm in this particular county was back in 1950. We seldom breech 4-6" from any one storm.
