The Blizzard of '08... spring forward

Time change

Did you remember to set your clock ahead? Last night / this morning was the night to "Spring Forward" Of course spring is still twelve days away.

Spring is just around the corner, robins, butterflies, daffodils... How many snows do we still have after the forsythia blooms?

I reminded the readers of Discover Columbus about it earlier this week... Spring Forward Central Ohio

The spring forward image here is a Real Living e-card.

The blizzard of 2008

If you live in Central Ohio you know it does not feel like spring now. We had a snow storm on Friday and Saturday. A historic snow storm. A blizzard. The Columbus Dispatch on the blizzard of '08, Saturday Mid Day:

It's Nasty out there.

The City of Columbus was never above a Level 2...snow emergency or at least the parts that are in Franklin County, the majority of the city. I forget that the Polaris area is City of Columbus and is in Delaware County. Franklin County, Ohio was level 2 snow emergency. Delaware County, Ohio was a level 3 snow emergency.

The airport stayed open throughout the blizzard despite plane skidding off the runway as it landed at Port

Remember spring is just around the corner for Central Ohio, robins, butterflies, daffodils... Columbus on Friday night. No one was hurt. 12 days and counting...
