"The amount of snow observed on Sunday in Columbus has only been seen once in the last 141 years. It essentially shut the city and surrounding neighborhoods down with most counties at a Level 2 or 3 snow emergency limiting traffic to essential travel only. Schools were closed on Monday. Most schools will remain closed on Tuesday with bitter cold temperatures remaining even after the snowstorm passed."
"The Blue Jackets all took the ice for their morning skate at 10:30 A.M. eastern. Every expected Blue Jacket was on the ice including Denton Mateychuk, Dante Fabbro and Miles Wood, all three of which were working their way back from injuries. After about a 30-minute skate, the Blue Jackets started heading for the locker room as usual. The room was opened up. Mateychuk was in position to return to the lineup Monday night as he was skating on the third pair with Egor Zamula."
A historic winter storm brought 11.9 inches of snow to Columbus, tying a January daily record dating to 1910 and marking one of the largest single-day totals in 141 years. Counties declared Level 2 or 3 snow emergencies, restricting travel to essentials; schools closed Monday and most remained closed Tuesday amid bitter cold. The Blue Jackets skated at 10:30 A.M.

About 90 minutes after the morning skate began, the scheduled game versus the Kings was postponed as conditions and logistics rapidly changed.
