Snow is expected to continue into Wednesday as well, mixing with rain after 11 a.m. before eventually tapering off as temperatures rise.
The weather service said 1-2 inches of snow is possible for the traditional snowbelt by Wednesday.
An 18-year-old former student from Kent Roosevelt High School faces a third-degree felony charge of making terroristic threats after allegedly posting a threat to blow up the school on social media. Kent police, acting on an alert from the FBI, arrested the suspect in Cuyahoga Falls. The teenager, who had posted the threat twice, claimed it was a joke, but police charged him due to the severity of the offense. The suspect was arraigned in Kent Municipal Court, where he received a $130,000 surety bond and a condition to stay away from all Kent City School property. Kent police worked swiftly with the FBI and the suspect's family to locate and apprehend him, avoiding the need for a school evacuation or search. A preliminary hearing for the case is scheduled for November 3rd. source
