According to my FB memories, it also snowed on this day in 2021. At least, in University Heights. (Don't mind the tree on the fence. That's from a Winter snow storm. 🤣) #ohwx

On this day in 2020... #snow #ohwx

Another round of storms coming our way tomorrow. We do have better odds for storms in CLE than we did yesterday. Have a way to get your warnings, especially after 1:00 PM, should we see any issued. #ohwx

Today is a classic example of cooler by the lake. #ohwx

Sure but I'm only depressed during Standard Time. 🌙

Viewpoint: Daylight saving time (DST) causes acute and chronic disruptions to circadian rhythms, leading to adverse health effects, and should be abolished in favor of permanent standard time (ST).

Good news: #Easter is trending drier. Other than maybe a few passing showers, we're just not seeing much, if any, rain on Sunday. 🐰🌷 Saturday will be pretty soggy though. #ohwx

Samantha Roberts @samrobertswx.bsky.social · Apr 17

New #MuddyPawMeter just dropped. Dry ground tomorrow but rain is on the way for #Easter weekend. 🐾🌧️ #ohwx

still no NFL Draft experts have asked us what position we think Cleveland should take with number 2 next week. which is too bad. because i think “sitting down” would be a funny reply.

Good news: Tonight will be our coldest night for a while. Don't get too excited and plant though! 💐 We always recommend waiting until after Mother's Day. #ohwx

Samantha Roberts @samrobertswx.bsky.social · Apr 16

After a very chilly stretch of weather, temperatures will warm into the low 60s Thursday. Sun returns in full force! 🌞

6:00 PM: Well, rain is changing to a wintry mix, or even just plain old snow, for many of us! 😑 This will all wrap up after sunset and then we'll expect a little lake effect snow overnight. #ohwx

Samantha Roberts @samrobertswx.bsky.social · Apr 2

I know y'all are ready for the warmth! Me too. 🙋‍♀️ It will be much warmer after sunset than it is right now. Storms arrive from the west after 11:00 PM. #ohwx

Samantha Roberts @samrobertswx.bsky.social · Apr 2

A line of storms will move in after 11:00 PM. Main concerns will be strong winds and heavy rain. There is a low end hail threat and a low end tornado threat. Neither are zero so I would have a way to get my warnings, should we see any issued!
