Chardon, Ohio Snows--January 2013

Last week, Cleveland had about an inch of snow. Hambden Township, just east of Chardon, had about 2 feet of snow. As the bird flies it's only about 35 miles from Cleveland Hopkins Airport, where official measurements are made, and Chardon. But it feels like two very different climate zones, two different worlds. In Hambden we average about 110 inches of snow a year. Chardon might be in the Snowbelt. But Hambden is the Buckle of the Snowbelt. We think of Clevelanders and even Chardonites as wimps!
