HISTORIC SNOWSTORM

A snowstorm of historic proportions has crippled parts of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky in the last 24 hours. To show how serious the situation is, look at these reports...

.....In Southern Indiana, 24 inches of snow now on the ground at Washington, but drifts are five feet deep. The town of Crawford also has five-foot drifts.

....Parts of Kentucky now buried in a snowfall that is more than they normally get in an entire winter.

.....In Northern kentucky, Hancock has 17 to 19 inches of snow average depth but drifts reach five feet.

.....Lots of motorists stranded in the heavy snow areas. In Cincinnati, thousands of people are without power.

.....At Scottsburg, Indiana, 29 inches of snow fell from this storm. That town is on Interstate 65 in Southern Indiana about 30 miles due north of Louisville. I will always remember that town because we were stranded there for a long time several years ago due to flash-flooding. That is the first and only time I have ever experienced an interstate completely under water.
