| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | On the first day of spring a major winter snow storm struck the region. Low pressure moving ever so slowly across Pennsylvania was responsible for the snow, and this low also brought strong winds with gusts up to 40 mph. It was a heavy wet snow which ripped down power lines and trees. Highways became snow covered and slippery causing numerous traffic accidents. In Southeast Indiana, there were over 190,000 customers without power at times. Most areas had between 4 and 8 inches of snow with a maximum of 13 inches reported in Southeast Indiana. The least amount of snow of 1 to 3 inches accumulated near the low lying areas of the Ohio River where more melting occurred on the relatively warmer ground. |
