Keeping with the thread title for southern Ohio, the Nov 1950 monster would be the ideal snow storm for me, 3ft fell in NW Athens county, almost 73 years later nothing has come close.
Now to stray a little from the title, here would be and ideal Winter season for southern Ohio:
Oct: A repeat of the Halloween storm of the early '90s where about 5" fell in the Dayton area
Nov: 1950 Snow Bowl storm
Dec: 2004 big one Dayton north and west, 12" IMBY up to 31" in Liberty, Ind.
Jan: This is a tie, either Jan of '67 or '68, NW corner of Athens Co, OH, we got 28" of heavy wet snow in 24hrs or Jan of '78 when we got 3ft of snow the last 3 weeks of that month
Feb: I think it was 2010 when SW Ohio had 2 double digit snow storms
Mar: 2008 16" IMBY
Apr: 1987 a 5" snow the 1st weekend of that month and a 9" one a week later in the Dayton area, and in NW Athens county where 18" fell in 24hrs w/12 straight hours of thunder snow
May: I think it was '90 or '91 when we got 1" of snow on May 8th
Adding all these up would be approaching 200" for one winter LOL! I think the average snowfall per winter has fell to around 24" in the Dayton area.
