Get Ready for Another Round of Ice and Snow
Sure thing—let’s dive into this frosty forecast! Here’s a narrative script you could use:
As we brace ourselves for another weekend, it's time to prepare for some challenging winter weather. Yes, you heard right—another winter storm is making its way into the region, bringing with it a messy mix of snow, ice, freezing rain, and sleet. A Winter Weather Advisory has already been issued for several Northeast Ohio counties, and it’s a reminder for all of us to stay alert and prepared.

This storm is set to hit on Saturday, and the impacts could vary widely depending on where you are. Areas south of Interstate 70 may start with freezing rain in the morning, but warmer air moving in will quickly turn that precipitation into rain. However, north of I-70, the cold will hold on longer, meaning those areas will mostly experience freezing rain throughout the day. We’re expecting anywhere from 0.05 to 0.20 inches of ice accumulation in the hardest-hit regions. While that might not be enough to cause widespread tree damage or power outages, it’s certainly enough to make roads and sidewalks dangerously slick.
For Columbus and the major roadways around it, there's a bit of good news—road temperatures are expected to stay warm enough to prevent icing on the main arteries. But that doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods. Side streets, parking lots, and driveways could become icy, so it’s crucial to take caution if you need to venture out.
It’s also worth noting that this storm is part of a larger pattern of winter weather that’s been hammering the central and eastern United States. February looks to be shaping up as a busy month for snow and ice, with waves of storms expected to continue rolling through. For those of us in emergency services, road maintenance, or healthcare, this can mean long hours and extra strain—so let’s make sure to show them our appreciation and support during these tough conditions.
As always, the best advice is to keep an eye on the forecast, have your winter weather kit ready, and avoid unnecessary travel during the worst of the storm. And if you have to head out, drive slowly, give yourself extra time, and watch out for those slick spots. Let’s get through this winter weather together—stay safe and warm out there!
