The Nation - News from Feb. 15, 1985
Thousands were still without electricity after a massive snowstorm left drifts up to 20 feet high. National Guardsmen were mobilized in Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia to help rescue stranded residents and to plow drift-choked highways. The waning storm dumped two feet of snow on the central Appalachians and scattered a few more inches of snow across the Great Lakes and most of the Ohio Valley. Travelers’ advisories for up to five inches of new snow were posted for Michigan, and advisories warning of light snow and drifting were issued for Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and West Virginia.
