Power Outage in Bristolville, OH

Winter Storm. An Arctic cold front swept through the area around 4 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 snow rates of briefly up to 1��� per hour, occurred behind the front early December 23rd before becoming lighter by midday. 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 35 MPH through the day. A peak wind gust of 51 MPH was clocked at 2:32 PM December 23rd at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. Sporadic tree damage and a few 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. Several of these accidents resulted in at least minor injury. Wind chills plunged below 0 by 7 AM December 23rd and did not warm back above 0 until the morning of December 26th. A minimum wind chill of -31 degrees was reported at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport at 5:51 PM December 23rd. Weather stations elsewhere in the county reported minimum wind chills of -30 degrees in both Newton Falls and Cortland around 2:00 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. Weather observers at Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport measured 4.3��� of snow with the storm. Multiple measurements (from a trained spotter and CoCoRaHS observer) of 4.0��� were received from Newton Falls. Trained spotters also measured 2.6��� of snow in Gustavus Township and Cortland.
