Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s Cleveland and it snows and it’s cold and it’s windy, we get that. We’re prepared for that. Hell, we enjoy most of it.
But the latest Accuweather.com forecast for Winter 2011-2012, and you know those guys are never wrong, calls for a brutal slog of bitterness in the Great Lakes region. Head’s up, Cleveland. (We love how the map calls the predictions of death by snow “highlights.”)
Hands down, AccuWeather.com’s long-range experts agree that the Midwest and Great Lakes region will be dealt the worst of winter this year.
Bitterly cold blasts of arctic air are expected to invade the northern Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes December through January, while snowfall averages above normal. “A couple of heavy hitters are possible [during this time],” Pastelok said in relation to the snow.
Bundle up. Or move to Florida. Or stay inside. Whatever. Be prepared. You have ample warning. We don’t want to hear about it come January.
This concludes our Dick Goddard moment of the day.

Or grow a pair finally…
This IS Cleveland in the winter for ‘effs sake…
If you don’t like the weather in Cleveland, why stick around? Is it the growing local economy and all the great, high-paying new jobs? Or is it our wonderful sports teams?
What’s all the hoo-ha? This is Cleveland. Doesn’t every winter here suck? Dark, cold, sunless, and especially SNOWY. I can count the “mild” and relatively snow-free Cleveland winters on two fingers since moving here almost twenty years ago. Fact: Of the dozen all-time snowiest Cleveland winters, eight of them have ocurred since I arrived. I think it’s me. I need to move, mostly so that this town can plant palm trees and become a winter playground and gambling resort. Maybe Austin or San Antonio will pay me to bust their drought…with a flood.
it snows in Cleveland… deal with it or get the eff out, sissies. 😉
In other breaking news, the Earth is round.
Those cold, snow, gray, & gloomy days mean one good thing…we have water. How’s Texas doing?
