Ohio is experiencing yet another random January. Snow one day, rain the next; 10 degrees one day, 50 the next. And so it goes. Typical Ohio weather.
Every year, people comment on how strange this winter is and the usual contention is that it is all the result of global warming - which is no doubt true. Those of us who are at least 40 years old will swear that we had a LOT more snow in our childhoods than our children have ever seen.
