This weekend's snowstorm from the Ozark Mountains through the Ohio River Valley resulted in record-breaking snow accumulations for many areas. 20.4 inches of snow fell in Columbus, OH, which shattered the previous record of 15.3" set in February of 1910! Over a foot of snow was commonplace across parts of the central MS River Valley into the Northeast, with IN, KY, OH, southernOntario and Quebec, Canada being the hardest hit. 3-5 foot drifts and blizzard conditions shut down roads and knocked out power to tens of thousands of people! Up to 30 inches of snow is on the ground in northern OH, where lake effect and lake enhanced snow added to the storm totals. Here is a list of the snowfall totals from the hardest hit areas in northern OH:

WOW according to the URL up there and if you click on northern KY and if you look on Woodford (that's were i live) I GOT 5"!!!!!!
Hi everyone! We had a big snowstorm here...60 to 30 cm (11.8110 inches to 23.6220 inches) of snow yesterday. Wind gusts of 122 km/h (75.8094 mph)! Today, cars are stucked on highways, planes are stucked on runways, roads are closed...it's chaos here.
Yesterday many "pileups" happened and, behind this, other cars had to stop and wait for the roads to be cleaned up but the problem is that they get stucked too in snowdrifts and couldn't leave! Some of the drivers couldn't even get out of their cars because of the amount of snow! Firefighters had to come and try to help them but they get stucked. They had to use snowmobiles to get there.
If you wanna see the situation from an helicopter... (the video is in french but it shows the situation here in Montreal. First at the airport and on the roads after)
