What happened

The episode as NWS ILN wrote it up.

A major winter storm affected much of Ohio beginning late on the 1st and continuing through much of the 2nd. Heavy snow fell initially with some areas receiving greater than 1 inch an hour rates. Some thunder was reported with some of the heaviest snow around Cincinnati and Dayton. By early afternoon on the 2nd, much of the snow had changed to a mixture of sleet and freezing rain. However, by that point the snow had accumulated from 6 to 8 inches with local 10 inch amounts around and north of Dayton and Columbus. Accumulations around Cincinnati generally ranged from 4 to 6 inches.
