Would be a mid December bowl before the weather becomes too bad. Canton is not on the lake so that would help things.

Its better than some of the bowls the MAC is involved in now.

Actually being on the lake is not bad for snow. Being east of the center of Cleveland gets bad regardless of proximity to the lake. Heck the weather south of me in Lakewood is almost always worse than what it is on Lakewood and I can see the lake from my place.

Sadly to get to where I work I have to drive east and I end up in the snowier areas....

The way the Lake Effect works, the snow jumps over the first few miles closest to the shore before beginning to fall back down.

Canton is pretty dry compared to Cleveland or even Akron.

Right so living by the lake is fine. It is living a little bit farther that gets you badly (particularly east of Cleveland center). I lived in Cuyahoga Falls and the snow could be deep there though I could not say for sure about Canton itself since I rarely went down that way particularly during a snow storm.

The big point is that the real snow is not really at the lake but is concentrated in other areas just beyond the lake communities (well on the west side of town anyway).

Down in Portage County (Kent is in West Portage County, east of Akron, NE of Canton, SE of Cleveland, when I'm in the US I live east of there), sometimes a lot of the lake effect snow hits the middle of the county, sometimes it peters out a bit further north, but it is not very strong if you get south of there into Stark County, where Canton is located.
