County avoids storm's brunt in Lorain County snow fallout
Northeast Ohio felt less snow than forecast as Lorain County received about 1 to 4 inches. The miss led to school closures and a surge in snowblower and salt sales at area retailers including Lowe's in Elyria and Pronesti's Lawn Mower Service. Local forecasts called for lingering lake effect showers and a 50 percent chance of more snow with highs in the low 20s.
