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
