How much snow? Show us your snow
According to official records, just shy of 5 inches of snow fell on Pendleton County on Jan. 5, and nearly 3 more came down on Jan. 6. Actual depths varied across the county. Since Jan. 1, Pendleton County has been hit with more than 13 inches of snow. Temperatures in that span largely remained below freezing, with a low mark of minus-1 on Jan. 7, contributing to icy conditions. The official highs were 39 on Jan. 1 and 2, then dropping before finally reaching 37 — some areas of the county reported temps in the low 40s — on Jan. 12.

On The Falmouth Outlook page on Facebook, we asked readers to send us photos of their snow days. Here are just a few of the dozens of scenes either emailed to us or that were posted in the comments section of our post. View more on Facebook.
Steve Spegal took this photo of “my kids having fun in Demossville.”
Chevona Simpson said, “This was Monday morning (Jan. 6) about 8 a.m. till roughly 1 p.m. on Middleton Road (northwest of Falmouth). This storm had us stuck till Thursday. Even though I was stressed from missing work, I really enjoyed being stuck at home with my kids!”
Andee Shields of Falmouth said, “The kids loved the snow. I was hysterical, though, because I’m pregnant and was craving a fried bologna sandwich. All the stores were closed besides Family Dollar and Family Dollar didn’t have bologna. So I was persistent and texted every person in Falmouth that I know and I found some bologna. The day was saved and we enjoyed being snowed in for two days.”
