This appears to be a non-notable weather event with no lasting impact. This snowstorm only lasted 2 days. SL93 (talk) 23:24, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - How long it lasted has nothing to do with anything. The October '11 snowstorm lasted two days. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 23:30, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This 2 day weather event has no lasting or notable impact. SL93 (talk) 23:32, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per SL93. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 23:33, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article even points out its non-notability - school closings (not unusual), at least one power outage (not unusual), and the rest of the impacts are negligible. SL93 (talk) 23:37, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Article argues against its own notability. This is the entirety of the article's "Impact" section:

"The heavy snowfall resulted in school delays and closings across the region on November 22. There was at least one power outage as a result of the heavy snow in Ohio, but otherwise the impacts were negligible." --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 23:42, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No solid opinion, but I'd be interested in deletion for one simple reason — I grew up in the area of Ohio where the deepest snowfall fell, but I have no memory of it. If the locals don't remember a weather event, it's not likely to be something that will get sufficient extended coverage to warrant an encyclopedia article.

Snow delete of course. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:56, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as above. If keep, rename to geographically-clear name. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:05, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
