In reply to:

Jack from what I understand and hear, you were around for most all historical events in Cleveland

BIG DEAL! The record high and low temps are the ONLY historical events that occurred in Cleveland.

And, Craig. You're just "gleefully" showing off, again. The record low temp in Erie was only -18 degrees F. However, I believe you are accurate about the cause.
