National Weather Service says more snow for Northeast Ohio next week


CLEVELAND, Ohio — The National Weather Service said Saturday evening that even though the Northeast Ohio region has had plenty of snow to go around from the last three and a half days, more snow is on the way.

NWS meteorologist Mike Griffin said there will be lingering snow flurries and showers Saturday night. After the last few days of snow, Welshfield, in Geauga County, saw the most snowfall with 16.1 inches, he said, followed by North Royalton with 15.1 (Cuyahoga County); Burton with 13.9 (Geauga); Brunswick with 13.2 (Medina); Broadview Heights with 13.1 (Cuyahoga); Rusell Center with 10.3 (Geauga); Strongsville with 10 (Cuyahoga) and Hinckley with 9.6 (Medina).

“The past few days (of snow) have been more deeper in the snow belt than the secondary snow belt,” Griffin said. The primary snow belt takes up most of Northeast Ohio, including Lake, Ashtabula, Geauga and eastern Cuyahoga counties, he said, whereas the secondary snow belt includes eastern Lorain County, western Cuyahoga County and Medina, Summit and Portage counties.

Most of the time the primary snow belt is the one that gets hit the worst, he said, when the wind blows from north-northwest. This week’s storm brought wind that came from the western end of Lake Erie, hitting the secondary snow belt, which is more inland, Griffin said.

Northeast Ohio should expect light snow showers Sunday night into Monday. Another, more heavy lake effect snow will approach on Tuesday into the end of the week, Griffin said.

Veteran Officer Among 4 Dead in Ohio Shooting



A nighttime call about a break-in in small-town Ohio ended with four people dead, including a police sergeant and a 13-year-old girl. Authorities say officers arrived around 9:30pm Sunday in Rittman, about 20 miles west of Akron, and were immediately met with gunfire, the Canton Repository reports. Sgt. Scott Ries, a 10-year veteran of the Rittman Police Department and a former Wayne County deputy sheriff, was fatally shot while responding to what officials described as a disturbance call.

  • Four other officers—three Medina County sheriff’s deputies and a Hinckley Police Department officer—were injured, the AP reports. Two were hospitalized in stable condition and two were treated at the scene. A Wayne County K-9, Vick, was badly injured.


The suspected shooter, 38-year-old Brandon Fazekas, died from a wound consistent with suicide, the coroner said. The Wayne County coroner identified the other victims as the suspect’s ex-partner and her daughter, WKYC reports. The coroner said 43-year-old Christine McWilliams and her 13-year-old daughter, McKinley, were both killed in what appear to be homicides. Rittman is a town of around 6,100 people on the border between Wayne and Medina counties.


The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is leading the probe. In a statement, the city of Rittman praised Reis, 54, for his “honor and courage” and “enduring commitment to protecting others.” “Our hearts are broken with this unimaginable loss,” the city said.
