I guess Mansfield, Ohio lucked out on this one, with around 5.2 inches of snow.
I remember the Blizzard of January 26 - 28, 1978, all too well. The Eye of the storm passed over Mansfield, with Low pressure well into hurricane parameters. In fact, it was a hurricane that couldn't be called one for technical reasons (overland in the winter). It was NOT a noreaster that went up the east coast!!! Sustained winds were at the low end of Category 1. The actual storm was preceded by 18 hours or so of freezing rain.

I was living 3 miles south of Wooster at that time. We had no electricity for almost 2 weeks. Water lines broke, toilet broke, even canned food in the cupboard froze and broke. We sat there for 2 days 'till a National Guard unit rescued us. Talk about cold!
