The Storm

March 2008 in Ohio has been characterized by well above normal precipitation.  The period of 01-05 March 2008 had precipitation averaging 2.1 inches.  A storm moving from the southwest to northeast across Ohio on 07 to 08 March at a time of well below normal temperatures produced a general 12 to 20 inches of snow.  As of 16 March, nearly all the snow has melted.  At this time, the soil conditions throughout Ohio are saturated.  Another storm system formed over the lower Mississippi Valley and moved northeast and produced generally from 1.0 to 2.5 inches total of rainfall as of 19 March and produced another round of flooding.
