WEATHER IMPACT | A foot of snow, a record-late frost and a downpour for the history books. Three wild weather moments happened on this date in Northern Ohio. Watch to find out where and when! @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | Cleveland Hopkins averages 63.8" of snow a winter, but none of the last 5 winters hit that mark. The 5-winter average is just 37.4", more than 2 feet below normal. Will this one be different? @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | On this date in 1946, Cleveland hit a record 74 degrees, and Youngstown waited until Nov. 12 for its first fall freeze, the latest on record. Akron-Canton matched that in 2016. @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | 30 years ago, the Veterans Day lake-effect snowstorm buried Northeast Ohio. Chardon picked up 69 inches from Nov. 9-14, 1996, Ohio's greatest single-storm snowfall. Do you remember it? @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | Your Veterans Day forecast: mainly cloudy with a high of 59 and light winds. Showers move in this evening, with sunset at 5:10 PM. Thank you to all who served! @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | Snowflake fast facts: Ice crystals are six-sided by nature, they grow two ways (flat faces and branching arms), and NOAA says two identical flakes are astronomically unlikely! @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | On this date in 2002, the Veterans Day tornado outbreak stretched from the Deep South to the Lower Great Lakes. 93 tornadoes touched down, including 15 in the NWS Cleveland area. @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | When does the first snow usually fly? On average: Youngstown Nov. 5, Akron-Canton Nov. 9, Cleveland Nov. 10, Mansfield Nov. 15 and Toledo Nov. 17. Ready or not, the season is here! @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | What is a nor'easter? A coastal storm named for its strong northeast winds. It forms when Arctic air clashes with warm Atlantic air, then races up the East Coast. Most common Sept-April. @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | On this date in 1913, the "White Hurricane" slammed the Great Lakes. Between 6 PM and midnight on November 9, 9 ships and more than 200 people were lost. @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | On this date: Cleveland hit a record 87° in 1977, Mansfield dropped to a record low of 16° in 1944, and Mansfield picked up a record 1.41" of rain in 1951. Quite a range for November 6! @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | Know the signs of frostbite: redness or pain first, then white or grayish-yellow skin that feels firm, waxy or numb. Get somewhere warm, use warm (not hot) water, and don't rub it. @wkyc #3weather

WEATHER IMPACT | Why do bridges freeze first? Cold air flows over AND under the deck, and there's no warm ground beneath to hold in heat. Bridges and overpasses can ice over even when roads are just wet. @wkyc #3weather #OHwx

WEATHER IMPACT | On this date in 2017, a rare November tornado outbreak hit Northern Ohio. NWS Cleveland confirmed 14 tornadoes from Sandusky County to Ashtabula County and into Erie, PA, including three EF-2s. @wkyc #3weather

WEATHER IMPACT | October was a dry one in Northern Ohio. All five stations came in below normal on rainfall. Youngstown was driest with just .90", 2.44" below normal. Cleveland had the most at 2.24", still 1.36" short. #OHwx #3weather

WEATHER IMPACT | October ran warm across Northern Ohio! Every station finished above normal, led by Mansfield at +4.1° and Toledo at +3.6°. Toledo also posted the warmest average of the month at 58.2°. #OHwx #3weather
