Record Snow Fall In Ohio
by Julie Kay Smithson
We are noticing a decided absence of “global warming”. In fact, we’ve just had the most snow ever recorded in a 24-hour period in this part of Ohio, 15.4 inches, PLUS the most snow ever recorded here in one snowstorm, 21.4 inches.
There are some amazing drifts, some of them four to five feet high, and many of them on the local roads. Fifteen counties, including my own, Madison County, are under Level 3, which means the roads are closed to all but emergency personnel. Another 18 counties are Level 2, for a total of 33 counties, in the middle of Ohio that got slam-dunked by Ole Man Winter!
Many thanks to the dedicated weather guys at Channel 10 in Columbus, Ohio: Mike Davis, Carlos Gonzales, Chris Bradley, and Brandon Roux, for their peerless coverage of this storm, and for all the nameless snowplow operators, EMTs, firefighters, dispatchers, and others who keep vital services there for us and who often go unappreciated and unthanked. With over 2,000 accidents reported the Ohio Highway Patrol — and this doesn’t count all the accidents on other than state or interstate highways — there was just one fatality.
Thank God we usually don’t need such folks, but knowing they are there, no matter the weather, means a lot.
Thanks to the countless Good Samaritans who help people during these times, then go on their way, unsung, but heroes nonetheless.
Thanks to the great neighbors who pitch in and help one another during such times, doing it without complaint, with cheerfulness. Those of us blessed to have such neighbors are rich beyond measure.

Thank you, Bud, but while you and a few others continue faithfully supporting my efforts, most don’t. Like our Constitutional Republic, the choice is simple: either protect and defend it or lose it. My efforts are eager and dedicated, but Wiggles Blue Heeler and I still require nourishment and things like heat / A/C, etc. It would be very nice to hear from folks that appreciate these efforts and are willing to also support them!
