A significant winter storm is currently affecting Northeast Ohio, bringing lake-effect snow that has led to travel warnings and restrictions in several counties, including Ashtabula and Cuyahoga. The National Weather Service has extended lake effect snow warnings as residents brace for potential snowfall totals reaching up to two feet in certain areas. Travelers are advised to stay cautious, as major roadways like Interstate 90 are experiencing hazardous conditions and multiple accidents have been reported. As the storm progresses, various regions, including Cleveland and surrounding areas, may endure persistent heavy snowfall through the weekend, prompting officials to issue a state of emergency for affected communities. Preparations are underway as the Ohio Department of Transportation mobilizes crews to ensure road safety amid the ongoing snowfall.
