If you read, hear, or see anything about how much snow we are going to get this weekend it will most likely be wrong information. The honest reason is that we do not know the track this thing will take yet. @cleveland19news

It's alarming how many people don't pay attention to the weather. Many people today will wear heavy coats in Ohio today because they are used to it being cold. Then they step outside and act surprised. Keep an eye out as to how many people are dressing like it's 20 degrees.

Final Thought: Don't focus on the snow totals so much and who is saying what. The wind is going to be a big player and it doesn't really matter how much snow you get. The wind is what will make it bad. It will be difficult to measure the snow anyway. @cleveland19news
