In the course of several days, more than 16 inches of snow was recorded at Dayton International Airport, which broke the previous single-storm record of 12.9 inches during the Blizzard of ‘78.
Highways were clogged, cars were hidden in snow and residents were kept at home in some cases because of the massive precipitation.
