Cincinnati Blizzard 2008

It was a direct hit!  In just over 24 hours, Cincinnati received more than 12 inches of snow.  It started at noon on Friday and by dinner time, we had 3 inches on the ground.  We had dinner reservations to the Iron Chef to celebrate birthdays (Barb Curry 3/1, Lynn 3/6, Bob 3/9 and Matthew Green 3/17).  Luckily the snow let up just in time to leave for the restaurant.  Ironically, it started snowing agin just as we left at 8:00. 

The drive home was eerily quiet.  Almost no cars were on the road.  We drove down Montgomery road from Fields Ertel road to downtown Montgoery is less time than on a dry day.  It was a most unusual trip.

Over night, we received another six inches of snow.  It continued snowing all through the day until about 4:00 accumulated to a to total of just over a foot. 

This is the first time that I’ve ever known Hamilton County to declare a snow emergency level 3.  Meaning that you could get arrested for driving.
