Freezing Rain, Drizzle to Continue Tonight

Beachwood has 88 without power

The freezing rain storm that started Sunday night caked ice on streets, sidewalks and trees and has caused power outages throughout the area.

About 88 Beachwood homes were without power in as of 3:30 this afternoon according to FirstEnergy 's website. But in northern Ohio, about 42,000 don't have power, said spokesperson Mark Durbin this morning. And, about 22,000 don't have electricity in Cuyahoga County. 

Power for some may not be restored until Tuesday morning, as it depends on if the conditions worsen and how fast the road crews are able to work, he said.

Will Kubina, meteorologist with Cleveland's National Weather Service office, said there is a winter weather advisory until 10 a.m. Tuesday, but he thinks the worst of it may be over.

People have reported a quarter of an inch to three quarters of an inch of freezing rain so far, he said. The freezing rain and drizzle has tapered off for now but about 2 to 4 inches of snow will fall tonight and into Tuesday morning.
