    I grew up in Ohio in the '70s. The first snowfall was usually in late September and the ground would be completely covered with snow sometime in October. The mounds of snow thrown up by the plow trucks would be 6-8 feet high and we built elaborate tunnel networks in them. We didn’t see hints of grass until late April and the snow wasn’t completely gone until May or sometimes even early June. Ohio still gets hit with winter these days, but nothing like that.
