Hey ya'll! I moved to Ashtabula. As someone on the board says a little "redneck" but overall not to bad. Bought a house and am happily settled in. Now, when I was a kid I lived in Newbury and because I was a kid I barely remember there being any lake effect snow.

So, just how much does it really snow in Ashtabula?

How many inches did it snow last year?

I personally would love to be stuck in the house for a few days while snow gets dumped on the city.

On average Ashtabula gets 39 inches of rain and 45 inches of snow a year.

Stats according to bestplaces

Be careful what you wish for.

Not as bad as western NY, but considering it's right on Lake Erie, it does indeed get a good amount of snow. I hope you're used to driving in snow as you'll be doing it a lot.

One thing to keep in mind about Lake-effect snow is that it rarely comes in huge doses. Rather, what is more common is for there to a be more consistent dusting every day or so. The winter months consist of consistent cloud cover mixed in with consistent flurries. You'll get a few large storms every year, but the large doses are not that often.

those lakeshore counties are bad for lake effect snow until the lake freezes over.

Don't ask for the snowfall in inches, in AShtabula it's measured in feet!

In short, you'll get lots of the stuff. I'm in Kinsman, 25 miles to the south ofyou at the north edge of Trumbull County, and we get lake effect snow too. Disappears 4 miles down the road, but right here it's deeeeeep!

In Ashtabula you generally get snow heavy and hard from the shore to about mid-county. Occasionally it'll get bad south county. You definitely measure snow by the foot--you'll count too high if you measure by inches. Stay out of Ashtabula City if there is a bad storm--they are horrible about clearing the streets. The side streets won't get plowed for days and the main streets may see a plow twice a day. The rest of the areas get a good clearing--depends on your location as to how often. If you don't know how to drive in snow I suggest you find an empty parking lot and Practice, practice, practice...that's the best way to learn, but always be careful and remember that what you don't see on the roads is just as dangerous as what you do see. Also--if it's too cold the salt trucks won't be out because the ice won't melt anyway. It's best to stock up for a few weeks so you don't have to leave when it's bad out.

The three most negative words in the English language are "lake effect snow." Because of it, I have moved back to Texas.

I think because I moved back here that there will be no snow. We barely have any on the ground right now and this was after we were forecasted to get 6 to 12 inches. I think I have some invisible shield that is holding the snow to the west of us.

lake effect snow... i love a big snow storm, i like to think that i'm alot stronger here in the cold snowy weather then in some wimpy sunny spot. yes i love the summer, but i love the winter too. some reason i think that our winters are getting less snowy. i have pictures of our winters being very, very deep all the time, nov - march. now the lake effect snow doesn't last long. go sled riding in a blizzard it's fun.
