Steubenville Blanketed in Snow

If you were like most of us in the Ohio Valley, you spent the weekend snowed in due to a major snowstorm that hit the entire Northeast.  I have not seen snow like this since I was a kid when we had snowdrifts so high we couldn’t open our front door.

Since I have four-wheel drive, I decided to venture out to take pictures after the snowflakes settled and the sun came out.

It’s not often that an entire town comes to a halt and due to the heavy snow even the trains stopped running.

There wasn’t much happening on the river either and the Market Street Bridge is still closed for repairs.

Downtown was deserted and St Peter Church had about five cars for 4 o’clock Mass.

This 19 room turn of the century house looked like a beautiful old-fashioned post card and houses the Jefferson County Historical Association and Museum.

The snow covered city steps by Welsley Avenue  lead up to Pleasant Heights.

The setting sun peered through the snow covered trees on Franklin Avenue across from University Boulevard. 

I guess we can be thankful we haven’t had a bad winter like this for a long time — and everything looks a lot prettier blanketed in snow.
