November Weather in Northeast Ohio

We are experiencing in Northeast Ohio one of the most beautiful Indian summers that I can remember: about a week of clear and sunny skies, with highs in the 50's and low 60's. With the fatalism (and wicked humor) of a born-and-bred Clevelander, I know this is not going to last!

I remember that 35 years ago we had a wicked November Midwest "hurricane" that caused the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior. Who can forget the hypnotic rhythm of Gordon Lightfoot's great song--a song that resonated in Cleveland--and still resonates.

Fourteen years ago, from November 10-14, 1996, while my house was being built in Hambden Township, almost 6 feet of lake-effect snow fell.

Around here, we know what's coming!

We know what's coming!
