  • /

Anyone who know Dan Groman easily associates him with a beautiful 1954 Chevrolet 210. It's a Bluffton original - originally owned by Mrs. C. Henry Smith and later by Zoe Hauenstein.

Groman informs the Icon that The Vintage Chevrolet Club of America is forming a local Region in the Lima area to allow area VCCA members from northwestern Ohio to meet with others that enjoy Chevrolets of all eras.

The novel virus causing the expanding outbreak of respiratory illness centered in China has been officially named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization.

Mother Nature reminds us of the season

"The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meterologists."

Or, so says an unknown philosopher.

Bluffton awoke to one of the rare true snowfalls of the season this morning. It first delayed and then closed area schools.

It brought out the shovels, the snow plows, the window scrapers and the boots. It made a pot of coffee seem heavenly.

Fred Steiner, Icon photographer, offers these glimpses of the snow effects in early morning.

Watch the Icon for additional snow scene photos throughout the day.
