episode_narrativeSnow became heavy at times and heavy snow fell during the overnight hours into the morning of the 3rd. Snow accumulated an average of 8 to 14 inches and northeast winds of 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph produced significant blowing and drifting snow with localized blizzard conditions. A number of counties declared snow emergencies to restrict travel and a number of roads were closed by snow and blocked by abandoned vehicles. Emergency shelters were opened in several towns to provide food and shelter for stranded travelers. Roof collapses began as the snow piled up and continued for days after the storm. An elementary school in Cleveland (Cuyahoga) collapsed but school was not in session. The building may have been damaged beyond repair. No direct injuries or fatalities were reported but a number of injuries and several fatalities were reported from automobile accidents and at least three people (men) died in the Cleveland area from heart attacks while shoveling snow.
