Brunswick Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
An Arctic cold front swept through the area around 1 AM December 23rd. Low pressure along this front tracked over Lake Erie early in the morning on December 23rd and rapidly intensified through the day while slowly lifting northeast across Ontario. With the frontal passage rain changed to snow with temperatures dropping from the upper 30s and lower 40s to sub-zero in about 8 hours. A period of moderate to heavy snow, with rates briefly up to 1��� per hour, occurred during the early morning of December 23rd behind the front. Snow began tapering through the morning. The period of snow and rapidly falling temperatures led to a flash freeze and icy conditions on area roadways. While the falling snow became lighter through the daytime hours of December 23rd, winds began increasing during the pre-dawn hours and gusted over 45 MPH through the day. Mesonet stations in Medina County clocked peak gusts of 50 MPH at 1:35 PM December 23rd in Homerville and 49 MPH in Brunswick at 1:36 PM. At nearby Wayne County Regional Airport a peak gust of 51 MPH was measured at 10:50 AM. Sporadic tree damage and power outages resulted. Wind gusts very gradually subsided into December 24th, though gusts didn���t drop below 30 MPH until that evening. This led to a prolonged period of widespread blowing and drifting snow beginning early in the morning December 23rd and continuing through the afternoon and evening, with some patchy blowing and drifting snow continuing all the way through Christmas Eve. The greatest impact from this storm was to travel due to the flash freeze and extensive blowing and drifting snow, to go along with low visibility. Numerous minor accidents, slide-offs and disabled vehicles were reported throughout the area on December 23rd and 24th with a few of these accidents resulting in at least minor injuries. Wind chills plunged below 0 around 5 AM December 23rd and didn���t warm back above 0 until the morning of December 26th. A mesonet station near Brunswick reported a minimum wind chill of -38F at 12:00 PM December 23rd. Elsewhere, mesonet stations recorded minimum wind chills of -33F in Homerville at 11:35 AM and -31F in Valley City at 12:35 PM. A number of burst pipes were reported across northern Ohio due to this cold, with temperatures remaining in the single digits until Christmas morning. CoCoRaHS observers measured 3.8��� of snow in Medina and 3.6��� of snow in Brunswick with this storm. Trained spotters measured 3.0��� of snow near Hinckley and 2.6��� of snow near Sharon Center.
Rain changed over to snow during the evening hours of November 30 in Northeast Ohio, as low pressure moved just east of the area. During the early morning hours of December 1, heavy, wet snow overspread the region with visibility dropping to one-quarter of a mile or less and snowfall rates up to one inch per hour. Travel was severely disrupted by this storm as heavy snow quickly accumulated on area roadways and any pre-treatment efforts were hampered by rain earlier on November 30. Due to the heavy, wet nature of the snow and only modest wind speeds of 10 to 15 mph, blowing and drifting snow was not a big issue during this event. However, snow easily collected on area trees, especially area evergreen trees, and the weight of the snow allowed for trees to fall onto area roads, power lines, and even some buildings. Schools and several businesses closed on December 1 and 2 due to the weather conditions. In Medina County, snowfall totals ranged from 4 to 13 inches of snow for the event. A peak total of 13.6 inches of snow was observed in Brunswick. Other selected snowfall totals include: 12.8 inches in Hinckley, 8.5 inches in Medina, 8 inches in Lodi, 5 inches in Wadsworth, and 4.3 inches in Homerville.
Several large tree branches snapped and shingles blown off building at Wadsworth Road and River Styx Road in River Styx. Farther east, a power pole was snapped on OH 94, near Kasai Japanese Restaurant, on the north side of Wadsworth.
A large tree fell onto Leroy Road, near US Route 224 in Westfield Center. A large tree and several power and cable lines were downed on the north side of Medina.
Trees and power lines were downed across the area. A tree fell into a home in Medina. Scattered power outages were reported in the area.
