Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Cleveland is located very near to Lake Erie and thus experiences the lake effect of a lot of cold and snow. One winter, Cleveland experienced over 100 inches by April. Snow and rain-proof shoes and a very warm winter jacket are essentials. In the spring and summer, Cleveland weather takes on a schizophrenic temperament; weather forecasts are virtually useless. The humidity is awful during late summer, but if you’re from Georgia, Alabama, or anywhere in the Deep South, this will be a walk in the park in comparison.

Two or three notorious students have been seen in shorts and slippers all winter long, but such attire is not advisable. Snow livens things up the first few falls, but after 60 or 70 inches, it gets old. It’s a good idea to just keep a positive attitude about the weather, make the best of it, and just deal.

Weather Is a Fickle Friend

Right now is is mid-March and entirely gorgeous!! Between 60 and 70 degrees which makes campus life a treat really. I am extremely affected by the winter though and the bone-chilling winds are painful physically and emotionally. It is gorgeous when it snows though! It is pretty rare that Case will cancel classes due to weather though which is sometimes shocking because we have been warned not to go outside due to a windchill of -26 degrees and still classes were not cancelled until after 3pm.

I wish people were exaggerating

The weather in Cleveland is some of the worst weather around, it holds true to its word. Bring a sturdy umbrella and your winter boots because the months of November through March rarely see much sunshine.
