...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY EVENING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN CLEVELAND HAS ISSUED A WINTER
STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY EVENING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

SNOW WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD INTO THE AREA MONDAY EVENING ALONG A
WARM FRONT. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE
BY TUESDAY MORNING WITH THE FIRST SURGE OF SNOW.

THE INTENSITY OF THE SNOW WILL DIMINISH TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE
FIRST SURGE OF SNOW MOVES TO THE EAST OF THE AREA. THE STRONG
STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATER TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
SPREAD A SECOND SURGE OF SNOW INTO THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT.

ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 8 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE
TUESDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BECOME MIXED WITH
SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN POSSIBLY CHANGE
OVER TO ALL RAIN BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE
WEDNESDAY MORNING AND CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE SNOW COULD CHANGE OVER TO ALL
FREEZING RAIN EARLIER THAN EXPECTED AND THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR
SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THAT HEAVY SNOW AND OR SIGNIFICANT ICE
ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE. IF YOU ARE WITHIN THE WATCH
AREA...REMAIN ALERT TO RAPIDLY CHANGING WEATHER CONDITIONS. STAY
TUNED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OR YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER SOURCE
FOR THE LATEST UPDATES AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.

Ok, I love all the potential for fresh snowfall, but honestly not looking forward to the freezing rain stuff. That makes things stop being fun REAL quick!
