It’s been somber in the newsroom this afternoon. This is hard to pass along
Jim Donovan, who has served as the play-by-play voice of the Cleveland Browns since the team's return to the NFL in 1999, has announced that he is stepping down as he continues his fight against cancer.

Dear Northeast Ohio..PLEASE (I'm actually begging) PLEASE don't get caught up in snow numbers. We are legit concerned about ICE too. For your planning purposes: Whether it's snow, ice or rain this will be high impact.
When: Weds thru Fri
How much: too early
