Columbus Ohio Hit Hard

Columbus, Ohio had 20 inches of snow fall on Friday and Saturday. The storm cut down power lines, delayed over 90 percent of flights, and cancelled various activities. The previous record of snow fall of Columbus was 15.3 inches which happened in February of 1910. Two traffic deaths have been reported and four men have died shoveling snow. Flooding and ice covered roads as caused traffic to be hard because of blocked off roads. Vermont homes have been without electricty since Sunday. The electrition crew can not make it to homes because of fallen trees and icy roads. In New Jersey and New York wind has been recorded at 65 mph. We have been lucky not to have such harsh weather conditions yet here in South Dakota. Usually we are the ones to get hit hard but South Dakota weather is so unpredictable that anything could still happen. It is very unfortunate when deaths happen due to weather conditions.
