The Buckeye State borders Lake Erie, which produces what's known as lake-effect snow, leading to considerable amounts of snowfall during the winter, particularly in the northeast portion of the state. However, snowfall has decreased in many areas in Ohio since the 1970s — Cleveland has experienced a decrease of 7%, while Toledo has seen those annual numbers decline by 9%. It's a far cry from the 1959-1960 winter season, when a record 161.5 inches of snow fell on the city of Chardon. Ohio saw the most amount of snow produced from a single storm in 1996, when a six-day event led to 69.5 inches falling in the northeastern parts of the state.
