Power Outage in Green, OH

Winter Storm. An Arctic cold front swept through the area around 2 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 40 MPH through the day. Akron Fulton Airport measured a peak wind gust of 51 MPH at 5:27 AM December 23rd, with a 49 MPH gust recorded at Akron-Canton Airport at 6:28 AM. This resulted in sporadic power outages across the county. 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 over a dozen 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 minimum wind chill of -31F was recorded at 1:51 PM on December 23rd at Akron-Canton Airport, with a wind chill of -30F recorded at 1:54 PM at Akron Fulton. A mesonet station in Copley recorded a wind chill of -31F at 3:05 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. Warming centers were also opened in Akron and Barberton in response. Trained spotters measured 4.9��� of snow in Bath, 4.5��� in Reminderville, 4.0��� near Barberton, 3.7��� in Tallmadge and 3.3��� in Sagamore Hills with this storm. A Co-Op observer measured 3.0��� in Munroe Falls. Akron-Canton Airport reported 2.7��� of snow.
