Cleveland is part of Ohio
Every Ohio region shares one system — the same maps, the same live radar, the same climate record. Lake Erie is shallow, which is why it runs the forecast here twice over: it is warm enough into December to load the snow bands that bury the east side and the snowbelt beyond it, and it freezes solid enough by February to shut them off. The same lake keeps the shore cooler than Akron all summer and later into autumn than the map suggests.
