9 inches on the farm here in cornfields and cows country. Some blowing and drifting but nothing major.
NE Ohio here (but not the dreaded NE Ohio lake effect snowbelt), slightly over an inch, very manageable driving conditions.
I lived in Poland (Youngstown) OH 2004 to 2007. Thankfully, we were out of the lake effect. However, I worked at the airport about 45 minutes due north, and things could be totally different up there in terms of snowfall.
Ohio is a bit strange regarding snow, a few miles can make a big difference.
We get very little here in the metro area of Columbus, Cleveland gets quite a bit as you know. It is actually odd that this storm really hit south of I 70. It is usually more as you go north.
The part that mystifies me is why I-70 seems like such a dividing line ALL THE TIME for these events. I don’t know squat about the weather or the science behind it, but I-70 is not just a convenient line for the TV weatherman to use — it is literally a dividing line for weather systems moving through here.
