Another evaluation rendered from climate records involved the estimation of duration of the covering of a body with snow. In this case from northern Ohio, the remains of a young girl were found during the second week of February in a rural agricultural field. It was suggested by the land owner, whose house was approximately ½ mile from the roadside ditch where the body was found amongst the tall weeds, that the remains could not have been there since late October or early November. It was theorized that family members, field workers, and hunters would have seen the body either during hunting season or during the process of harvesting crops. Once weather records had been studied, it was found that there had been a 10 in. (25.4 cm) snowfall during the second week of November and temperatures were never above freezing (32°F) until the later part of January. Another 5 in. (12 cm) of snow fell and covered the remains until the first week of February, when there was a considerable thaw. This, the girl’s body had been covered with several inches of snow for over two months, conceivably concealing the remains from observation.
