be aware of -- we are tracking squalls, lake effect snow. it's at a moderate level. my major concern is the cold, the wind and the wind chills. we have a northwest breeze. ten to 15 miles an hour and that brings the feel like temperature, wayne county. brutal cold down to 12 below. going to continue to get colder as we head into the rest of today and into tonight. forecasting a low of one degree for the greater cleveland area. that's why that wind chill advisory is in place for all of northeast ohio until ten tomorrow morning. now tracking these squals on the power of 5 they are moving out toward medina but moving fairly quickly. producing a little bit of moisture it's on the light side from lodi to medina. 71 south. pepper pike. independence. even -- cleveland heights you are seeing a few flurries flying this morning but well

are you seeing a little bit of sun but well toward the east. that lake effect snow stream will continue to flow in here as we head in to the midafternoon. hour by hour. don't you dare step outside without the heavy coat, the gloves, the hat today. only a high of 13 degrees. want to show you your hour by hour as you are finishing up valentine's day shopping. heading to the mall, going for a run. look at that. our highs only into the lower to single digits in most areas today. not in the teens, you can see that moisture makes its way from sandusky into mansfield a. round five we are really tracking in that lake effect moisture it's flowing over a warm lake, touching temperatures into the single digits. that's never a good mix. 13 for today. nick, one degree but we pick

18, then back in to the 30s but i will track snow monday, tuesday, wednesday and that is what you are looking for. look at that, 48, near 50 next friday. >> just got to get through the brutal next few days. mile high will take us somewhere tough, rough and cold and during the winter season there are someplaces a lot of us just won't go like the beach. i'm one of those. leon went there and even found a few others along with him. >> reporter: we northeast residents a cold weather people. regardless of if we like it winter hits us with a frosty fist. even in years when snow fall averages are less than usual. the season can still hit. when it does our beat goes on. even outside there is work to do. so through the cold and snow of winter there is the grunt of construction, even with in sights of the northern most edge, the beach front.

door opens in to lake eerie and a cold draft knife across the beach sand and break wall threshold. months ago sun worshippers celebrated warmer times here the tables have turned. our story is of the winter beach and the souls who don't mind the north wind's stinging waterfront slap across the face. >> you think a lot of people that -- did grow up here. they are used to the weather and the changes and -- seasons. >> reporter: we take it in stride and keep ongoing. >> we do. we are very tough. >> reporter: so touch must of us long for tender times near the edge of water. they remember summer's softer moment when. some are here now, they are visitors who dispute this is a dreary place. instead they look for beauty. >> absolutely. it's -- the lake is different

it like a serene type of beauty. quiet, there is nobody around. it's just -- something about the snow and the water. it's deserted like this. >> reporter: the park lies mostly deserted. the headlines state park even more so. there is the occasional brave soul leading with his chin. brother, the winter wind can hammer even harder. you there, you unnamed soul on impul section, with your ankles in the waves. be careful. winter beach is beautiful but potentially punishing. relatively few people will come to the beach at this part of the country during this time of the year. there is a beauty here with the drift wood coming in and the waves coming in and the wind blowing. indeed, there is a beauty winter at the beach.

better viewed from the comfort of one's easy chair. not for me. i like cleveland's beaches at winter where at times it's with spirit and with unusual
