Jan. 26, 1978 crippled the entire Tri-State with the worst blizzard it had experienced. It was classified as a "severe blizzard" by the National Weather Service which means a storm with 45 mph winds or faster, a great density of falling or blowing snow, and 10 degrees Fahrenheit or less. The night before was a moderate night but winds increased rapidly. Just after midnight, rain turned to snow and sustained winds of 60 to 70 mph and gusts of more than 100 mph blew across the area. By the storm's end, a foot of snow was dropped on Butler County and the barometric pressure reached an all-time low of 28.81 inches.
