As the Akron-Canton area awakes to a potentially dangerous winter storm Sunday, it will have closed January with snowfall for the record books, continuing several months and years of extreme weather. The Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for all of northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania beginning at 4 a.m. Sunday. The amount of predicted snowfall has been increased to 8-12 inches for northern Ohio, and slightly less below U.S. Route 30. The normal snowfall for an entire month of February is only 10.5 inches. The snow will be followed by arctic air sweeping into the area with 10-20 mile-per-hour winds and gusts up to 35. The low Monday night is expected to be about minus 3. Wind chills may reach minus 15. The heavy snow for the first two days of February follows 21.3 inches that fell in January in the Akron-Canton area. That will rank about seventh-most snow for any January in the nearly 130 years that records have been kept. That follows December 2014, which set the all-time record for least snow: a half inch. Extremes have become the norm. January a year ago was seventh-snowiest in history with 19.1 inches, and February 2014 eighth at 17 inches. Of the 10 snowiest winters in nearly 130 years of records, four of those have been since 2007.
