Cold north to northwest winds blowing across Lake Erie caused lake effect snow showers to develop over Northeast Ohio late on February 10th.  This snow shower activity intensified during morning hours of the 11th.  The snow showers began to taper off from west to east late on the 11th and ended completely around midday on the 12th.  Some of the snow was moderate to heavy with visibilities less than a half mile at times on the 11th and again during the early morning hours of the 12th over far Northeast Ohio.  Snowfall rates exceeded a half inch per hour at times.  North to northwest winds gusted to as much as 25 mph during this event which caused considerable blowing and drifting snow.  Snowfall totals of 6 to 10 inches were reported from eastern Cuyahoga and northern Summit Counties across Geauga County and into inland Ashtabula County.   Peak totals included 16.1 inches at Pierpont in Ashtabula County; 14.1 inches at Sagamore Hills in Summit County; 11.0 inches at Montville in Geauga County and 10.2 inches at Broadview Heights in Cuyahoga County.
