Five inches of snow–more in drifts–captured attention on South Bass Island this morning.  Ottawa County declared a Level 3 Emergency during the night (Level 2 as of 12:53 pm), and Put-in-Bay School closed for the day.  However, snow-removal crews responded quickly.  The airport runway and tarmac, and the South Bass Island roads were all cleared before 9 am.
