President's Day Snowstorm

February 2010's third major winter storm produced widespread snowfall amounts of 6 to 11 inches across areas generally near and south of the I-70 corridor, with lesser amounts further south.

With the snows from this system, many parts of the Ohio Valley received record or near-record snowfall amounts for the month of February -- with half of the month still to go!
