Snow began to fall in Ohio late on February 16, 1910, and continued for two days. This storm made February 1910 the snowiest month on record in Dayton. Transportation was crippled throughout Ohio. It appears that traffic was mostly stopped in the Village of Monroe. Most of Ohio received 10 to 20 inches, and winds of 40 mph created drifts 10 feet deep. The Columbus Dispatch called this the “heaviest snowstorm in the history of the state.” Records were broken all over the state. Many of these records stood until the 1970s. Monroe received its share of snow, but the business section of the community seemed to be busy. This photograph is of the west side of Pike Street - present-day Main Street. A grocery store doubled as the post office. John Sigg was the postmaster, and people would have to come to his store to pick up their mail. Naturally, they would often see something that they needed to buy.</div>
