We are located 9 miles north of the ohio river at ohio’s most southern tip. Our home is located on a ridge running south to east at an elevation of 970 ft Our fallout from the
sandy storm was 5 inches of wet snow , and a temperature change from 70 degrees to a nighttime low of 30 degrees. My daughter and her husband were visiting from Dallas, Texas and found it to be very refreshing. We had no power outages as a result , and merely sat around the wood-burner and enjoyed the scenery. However, because of the storm that hit our home on june 29th of 2012 with winds of 85 mph we had plenty of firewood due to the 20 or so downed or topped trees on this 3 acre propert Thanks to the help of my neighbor, Jim Spears, we had the mess cleaned up in 3 months. He is 65 years old and I am 70 years old , so we don’t move as fast as we once did.
