Low pressure originating along the Gulf Coast on November 26th tracked northeast up the east side of the Appalachians during the early hours of November 27th.  Heavy snow overspread Northeast Ohio as moisture associated with this system interacted with cold air over the lower Great Lakes.  Snow began late in the morning of the 26th and continued into the afternoon hours of the 27th.  The snow was heavy at times, especially during the late afternoon and evening hours of the 26th when snowfall rates were in excess of an inch per hour.   Accumulations of greater than six inches were reported over most of Stark, Portage, Mahoning and Trumbull Counties.  The greatest accumulations were in southern and eastern Mahoning County where spotters reported between 9 and 12 inches of snow in the Poland and Boardman areas.  Some freezing drizzle briefly mixed with the snow during the predawn hours of the 27th.  A slight glaze of ice was reported in a few areas.  Northwest winds gusted to as much as 25 mph at times causing blowing and drifting.  Travel was difficult during this event and many accidents were reported.
