A significant winter storm is expected to affect Northeast Ohio over the Thanksgiving holiday, bringing heavy lake-effect snowfall and cold temperatures. Multiple cities in the region have already issued parking bans as snow accumulations rise, with some areas projected to receive up to 18 inches of snow. Travel warnings have been issued for Interstate 90 as multiple crashes have occurred due to hazardous conditions. ODOT is preparing its crews for the expected wintry weather, which includes a mix of rain and snow before transitioning to heavier snowfall later in the week. As Thanksgiving approaches, travelers are advised to stay updated on the weather and adjust their plans accordingly.
