Good morning everyone. This is a pet peeve of mine so bare with me:
It's highly inaccurate to say "It's Cleveland" when making a GENERIC reference to our overall NE Ohio weather. I know I've upset many by saying this. We've been indoctrinated with this for decades and generations myself included. This phrase really only applies to winter conditions such as lake effect snow events or a strong lake breeze (especially in spring) which don't happen often. Most times (see image below showing the 6 week changes since early May) the changes are felt over a multi-state area! These regional changes don't originate here in northern Ohio nor are they religated to just northern Ohio. Again, the only exceptions that are strictly local in nature are Lake Effect snow events and lake breezes.
