8. Akron is about 40 mi. from Erie
Boy, did we get lake effect snow when I lived there. I thought the lake effect would be 10 miles at the most until I lived in Akron. I was unhappily surprised.

The first time I experienced it went something like this... The alarm goes off about 6:30 to the song "Life in a Northern Town". (Found out later that the song was a bad snow omen.) Turned on the Cleveland news to hear that there was some lake effect snow overnight. Looked at the window-- looked like the freakin' tundra!!

Like everything else, I got used to it. Still live in Ohio, still hate driving in snow.
