What should I wear in Cleveland - Software Training

[BulldogTom]

I am going to be in Cleveland next week for software training.  I will be in the hotel most of the time.  If I choose to venture out for dinner or something, what should I plan on wearing.  I have heard something about "lake effect snow" back there.  Is that really a possibility?

FYI - it was 87 degrees in Fremont today when I got off work.

Tom, Here is a couple ideas for Ya.....

Not from Ohio but I am from the northeast.  It's too early to worry about lake effect snow.  Lake effect rain, perhaps.  The extended forecast for next week in Cleveland shows highs in the 50's and 60's and lows from about 40 to mid-50's.  Mid-winter weather for you... mild fall for us.  Wool sportcoat should do you well, perhaps with a sweater to put under it if you go out in the evening.

I'll wave from Massachusetts - wave back!  (I know, we won't be able to see each other, but still.)

I am about 2 hours due east of Cleveland but (due to the landscape of Lake Erie) am further inland and higher elevated.  Sunday morning it was 33 when I got up and we had our first light frost of this season.  But as Catherine points out, the Cleveland weather, because of the lake effect, will be more moderate while you are there.  I would suggest bringing an umbrella.  In the for what it is worth department, I was born and raised in a town 55 miles east of Cleveland and just as close to the lake as Cleveland.  I remember snow as high as the power lines so make sure you get out of town before early-December.
