Your Winter Storm Guide + Last Week's Top Stories ❄️❄️❄️

January 19, 2019

As I write this, Winter Storm Harper is forecast to dump 5-11 inches on central Ohio throughout Saturday and into Sunday. The storm will also bring blustery winds, and it will all be followed by sub-zero temps Sunday night. Here are some useful things to keep handy and consider: 

  • Save this link to see AEP's current power outage map and to report an outage.

  • Sign up for AEP alerts here.

  • Good Twitter follows include AEP and our National Weather Service branch (Wilmington).

  • Reminders: charge all your devices. Get an emergency kit together (here's a good guide on what to include). Check in on elderly neighbors if you have them and try not to travel unless it's an emergency.

  • Good luck. ❤️ Hopefully, these reminders will look like overkill come Monday and we'll just have had a nice and cozy snowed in weekend. ❄️

 Here are last week's top 5 stories.

Readers seemed to love this nostalgic list of Columbus restaurants. I really need to get into York. That's a certain type of 80's-90's dining experience that's become mostly forgotten.

#2

My wife would say the creme puff at Schmidt's is the single greatest food item in Columbus. Possibly the world.

#3

This data-driven list gave me a few surprises.

#4

I love all of these so much, and so I think we're going to do more of these going forward.

You have to be a certain type of person, in a certain part of life, but if you meet the criteria you might be in a for a fun time.

Events director Leanne on the new Saraga, which was the best news I have heard lately:

One of my favorite things at #saragainternationalmarket is their Mexican bakery. 🥮🧁🍮Can’t wait to check out their new location when it opens! Have you ever been? What’s your favorite thing to get there? 📸: @cheapeatscolumbus
