The month of February is finally behind us and its demise couldn’t have come any too soon for Ohioans in the northern half of the state.
Weather stations in Akron-Canton, Mansfield, Youngstown and Toledo all reported average daily temperatures in February that were well below normal.
Although March didn’t exactly get off to a stellar start of relief from winter weather with perhaps the season’s largest single day snowfall on Sunday.
But if you thought February was exceptionally cold you were right, especially in Northeast Ohio. While Crawford County school children had several days of delays and cancellations, the Cleveland area suffered through the coldest February on record. Weather records date back to 1871.
