Blizzard of 2008

Technically, we just had a huge

snow storm. (To be considered a

blizzard, the winds have to blow

steadily at 35 mph or greater

for three solid hours.) It was,

however, the largest snow for

Central Ohio in 20 years--a foot on

the ground and 2- to 6-ft. drifts!

"A heavy winter storm walloped Ohio's

capital city with more than 20 inches of

snow, while blizzard conditions shut down

highways and stranded air travelers across

the state and parts of Indiana on Saturday.

"High winds whipped the snow into

3-foot-tall drifts in some places and cut

visibility to less than a quarter mile,

the National Weather Service said.

"The storm, which rolled in Friday,

dumped 20.4 inches of snow on Columbus,

breaking the city's previous record of

15.3 inches set in February 1910, the

weather service said." -- from CNN.com
