Cold Front Brings 3rd Cold Snap of the Season - January 27th

Cleveland had a temperature drop from 38 degrees shortly after midnight on 1/27 to 4 degrees by that evening. The temperature dropped further to -9 during the early morning hours on 1/28. A temperature drop like this was common as this cold front ushered in yet another unseasonably cold airmass.

Peak wind gusts during the middle of the night (1/27) were between 40 and 60 MPH. Up to a couple of inches of snow fell too overnight.

People all across the area woke up (on 1/27) to see a rare phenomenon: snow rollers. These wind driven balls of snow need just the right conditions to form and this was the night.
