❄️ Forty-six years ago next week, the Great Blizzard of 1978 hit Cleveland, dumping between 18 and 29 inches on the city with 80 mph winds. Across Ohio, the snow was blamed for 51 deaths, and didn’t fully melt until March. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” says finance director Joe Tegreene.
