In 1990, strong north winds whipped across areas from Illinois to the Central and Southern Appalachians. Winds sustained from 35 to 50 mph caused widespread blowing and drifting snow across Northern and Central Indiana. Gusts of 47 mph and 6 to 8 inches of snow produced a blizzard around South Bend. Numerous traffic accidents resulted in 2 deaths and 130 injuries. Sixty five of those injured were the result of one accident along Interstate 69 in Northeast Indiana. Gusts reaching 60 mph combined with 6 to 8 inches of snow to produce a severe blizzard across Northern and Eastern Ohio.
