CLEVELAND (WJW) — Fox 8 meteorologists predict highs in the 60s this Tuesday after some parts of the area got several inches of snow Sunday.

But on this weekend in March of 2008, NE Ohio was digging out from 20 to 30 inches of snow.

The heavy snow really got going in the wee hours of Saturday morning March 8. Many businesses closed in downtown Cleveland and throughout the region.

Records from the NWS show heavy snow fell from Vermilion to Ashtabula County, to Summit County, and throughout the area.

• Madison 28.5
• Richfield 24.2
• Broadview Heights 21.5
• Vermilion 18.1
• Wellington 16.0
• Hopkins 15.0

Gusty winds caused high drifts and white out conditions.

“Heavy snow continued through Saturday afternoon with blizzard conditions at times, finally winding down from west to east during the evening hours,” The Cleveland NWS wrote on its website.
