ground snow load in columbus ohio?
anyone know what it is, i see it's 20psf in the ibc, but i know that the locality governs.

call your local building department.
i don't work in ohio, so i was hoping to hear from someone who does.  i found a phone number after searching the net, so i'll give that a try tomorrow.  
i had a problem on a previous project when i assumed i could use the ibc values for long island.  i won't make that mistake again.  instead of 20psf, the nybc called for 40psf.   
i think it is good to check with the local office always. i had a building where the required snow load was increased by the official over the code stipulated value and also a couple of cases in florida where the wind load was increased.
