Blizzard Warning for Ohio

Central Ohio isn't getting it as bad as a bit north and west of us, but so far at 5:15, there are 305 "closings," that's schools, businesses, and malls. We've had about 5" of snow, and then about 3 p.m. it started to sleet, and sometime tonight the snow will return. Nasty! I think I heard that Hancock County [Findlay] had some 5' snow drifts. Some counties have level three conditions (means don't drive or you'll get a ticket). Unless the ice causes a break in the electricity from downed lines, it's warm and cozy here. Two years ago an ice storm around Christmas caused power outages for some of our neighborhoods for two weeks or more.

Greetings from Georgia. Except for the tornado warning in the next county, it is warm and comfy here. Sorry about that ;->

That Christmas you are referring to is the last one I drove to Cincinnati for the holidays from Florida. Never again! Cars were all over the highways (some were shut down) and we had the world's biggest family feud on Christmas Day. Needless to say, Christmas of 2004 is one I will be glad to never repeat.

Stay warm up there.
