AccuWeather: First Snow of Season Starting Wednesday Night

CANTON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – The beginning of Meteorological Winter doesn’t occur until December 1, but we’re getting a sneak preview starting Wednesday night.

AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bob Larson says snow flakes will start mixing in with the rain showers during the night Wednesday night, and that will continue on-and-off into the early part of the day on Friday.

Bob says we could see an accumulation of snow on grassy areas, but roads should just be wet.

He says lake-effect is not really involved here.

In fact, an area between Columbus and Indianapolis could see a few inches of accumulation on grassy areas.

For the Massillon playoff game in Mansfield Friday evening, Bob looks for mainly wet and damp conditions with tempos around 40.
