That ain't no blizzard When the snow banks top the street signs and the shopping cart corals, then we'll talk...LOL j/k I trust you had some fun in the parking lot with your truck? Nothing like an empty parking lot with some fresh snow

Please do not edit my photos, thank you.
Thats not a blizzard. When the Wal-Mart sign is under snow then you can call it a blizzard...trust someone from Ohio to call a nice snow a blizzard. Just Kidding. Although i do apreciate the Irony of the address of Wal-Mart...911. LOL. Some great shots though. Have any pictures of the fun you had in the parkinglot?

The news blew our little snow fall way out of proportion. It wasn't that bad. Ohio never gets a hole lot of snow at once. This week it is going to get up into the 40's it will all melt. Like always.
This week in Ottawa (nation's capital of Canada for those of you who don't know) we had 30cm fall on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning and then got hit Friday aft-Sunday early morning with another 52...yes, 52cm of snow!
I shovelled between Saturday morning when I got up and Sunday by noon, a calculated total of 7.25hours lol. And my driveway is only 60ft from top to bottom! /pulling hair
I'll post a couple of pictures when I load them to my computer.

Scott, love to see your images when you get them downloaded :thumbsup: . We saw some of the pictures of Ottawa, Toronto and Southern Ontario and Quebec on CTV and CBC and WOW, I can't ever remember seeing that much snow in one place that wasn't surrounded by very high mountains. I sit here in the southwestern prairies, east of the high mountains, and our winter is just the opposite - the most snow we had in any one storm was probably 15 cm or less and with the temperatures around 10 to 12 ° C for the past few days, it is all melting like crazy, BUT for us there is still April and May. Best of Luck in getting out from under (literally) all of this.
Ok public school education save me .... how much in inches is a cm? IF i remember correctly its 2.5 cm to 1 in. or am i totaly off base. My mom in Detroit got pounded with about 8 inches in one day a week or two back. In this part of Colorado I get a light dusting and everyone forgets how to drive. Its nice though if I want winter I go into the mountains about 10 miles away and if want spring I stay where i am.

Hey, Tyson, we got hit pretty hard in the Columbus area.
Starting Friday afternoon and ending Saturday early evening, we got 20.5" of snow. It set a record for us. They tried to keep the mail jeeps running on Saturday. I pushed the same nice USPS employee out of the snow twice. And both times, I had my camera next to me and every photo nerve in my body wanted to photograph her stuck in the snow (you know, "neither snow, nor sleet, nor rain...." well maybe snow ) but I had to do my civic duty.
I made it to the park despite Level 3 snow emergency. The park ranger was nice enough and I had the whole park almost to myself.
armywife, you are spot on :thumbsup: , 2.5 cm is a close 1 inch, giving about 30 cm to a foot. We here in the Great White North have been metric for so long that I have forgotten (well not really as I was raised in British system) most of the old system as we refer to it here. My children and grandchildren (there I gave it away, my age, that is :blush2: ) were all educated in metric and while my children had a bit of the British system in their early school years and might remember a bit of it, my grandchildren will know nothing of it. All our road signs are metric, including speed limits, as are all our weights and measures (e.g., prescriptions) although a lot of things in grocery stores are still sold with both pounds and kilograms on the package, but most other things - metric. I have learned to think in metric because that is all you ever get on TV, newspapers and in the stores anymore -- today's high was 10 °C and winds were light at about 10 km/hour -- you get the picture. The worst part is that while I still remember a few of the conversion factors, I am quickly losing those too. HTH
Cheers,
WesternGuy
P.S. I may have made the conversion easier than some, because when you take science (physics/chemistry) in High School and University here, it is all metric (millilitres, metres, joules, etc) and has been, probably, since the early fifities or earlier.

Here's a shot from my neighborhood.
Now that is snow guys, not the stuff we got up here in Licking County.
Yeah, Columbus got hit pretty hard. We were there last weekend, glad we didn't go a week later. We were actually driving through this storm Friday night on our way to Fort Campbell. We were supposed to arrive by midnight but didn't get to out hotel until 6am. We at least made it, many people that passed us we ended up seeing in the ditch further down the road... The last 1 hour of driving turned into 5+. It was not fun.
