Default Near Mansfield, Ohio a semi buried 3 days!

Was teaching at Crestview Schools at that time near Mansfield, Ohio. A semi-truck and the driver inside were buried and "lost" for 3 days on St Rt 13. A snowmobiler heard strange noises from under the snow and discovered the entire semi and driver safe! I traveled that road to school to Rt 545 and we were out of school for weeks. We all survived that storm that had no real warning....we didn't blitz the groceries prior to it and clear out all bread and milk! Great memories of a big storm! Haven't been in one that big since.....thank goodness! Love life here in The Villages....not venturing into "snow country" during the wintertime!
