Level 3 Snow Emergency Wreaks Havoc in Ohio
Louisiana, Kentucky, Ohio and New Jersey all getting a bitter taste of winter today
Baby, it's cold outside. And depending on where you live, it's not only dangerous to venture out of doors, it's illegal. If you're in Ohio or traveling through the state, be aware that Fayette, Hocking, Hamilton and Vinton counties are under a Level 3 snow emergency. All roads are closed to non-emergency personnel and if you're found on one, you could be arrested.
Snow Emergency?Yesterday storms in Arkansas dumped about a foot of the white stuff and left more than 40,000 homes and businesses without power. Ohio is under a blizzard warning until 4 pm today with 10-15 inches of snow expected.
Last night at Port Columbus International Airport, a Boeing 737 skidded off the runway. The plane was carrying 130 passengers, but no injuries have been reported. Airports all along the east coast from Florida to the Great Lakes are delaying and canceling flights faster than you can refresh your RSS feeds.
If you're flying, call the airport before you leave home.

Tornados touched down in Florida -at least 10 - killing 2 people. A swarm of winter twisters during February killed at least 57 people in 4 states, the deadliest onslaught in two decades.Louisiana saw 4 inches of snow on the ground yesterday - enough for the normally snow-free residents to try their luck at making snowmen.
Heavy rainfall in New Jersey is responsible for flooding the Delaware River at Trenton, which is expected to crest on Sunday a full foot above the flood stage.
This classifies as March coming in like a lion to me. As long as Mother Nature keeps her side of the bargain and lets it exit like a lamb, I'm cool with this last fling of winter.
Something tells me it's not going to play out as neatly as I hope.
