Low pressure moved northeast across Ohio causing freezing rain to develop in advance of a warm front stretching east from the low.  The freezing rain first began during the early morning hours south of a line from Marion to Akron.  By daybreak the freezing rain had spread north to near Lake Erie.  Ice accumulations of a quarter inch were reported most areas with ice accumulations of one half inch in portions of Holmes and Stark Counties.  Cold air filtering into northern Ohio behind the low caused snow to develop during the afternoon and evening hours.  Nearly 5 inches of snow fell in Lucas County with as much as 3 inches of snow as far east as Cleveland (Cuyahoga County).  Little if any snow accumulated southeast of a Marion to Youngstown line.  Very treachorous conditions existed on untreated roadways, especially during the morning hours.
