Stark County’s First Measurable Snow? Details HERE!

Of course this is Ohio and the weather can change on a dime!  As of Monday morning it looks as if this lake effect snow event may bring some snow squalls to the County Area but nothing excessive.  The weather alerts are for counties to the north of Stark.  It looks as though the bigger problem is high winds that could create white out conditions.   See below for the Accuweather forecast and details on the winter weather alerts:
