White Christmas Grips Elyria Area With Frigid Cold
A frigid white Christmas left Lorain County residents bundled up as snow squalls hit the northeastern Ohio region. Thermometers dipped below zero with wind chills around 45 below, while sun helped little. Ohio Edison reported no outages during the holiday and 487 notices went out for nonpayment risk. More snow and travel advisories followed as counties east of Cleveland faced 5 to 8 inches and poor visibilities from blowing snow.

Centralized exhaust testing urged by Ohio EPA official
Virginia Aveni deputy director of the Ohio EPA urged a centralized testing program with a single contractor to conduct auto emissions tests across Ohio. The federal government threatens to withhold highway funds if the program fails, and Lorain Cuyahoga and three other counties face a May 1986 deadline. Service-station operators would need about $30,000 to offer testing plus a $10,000 analyzer, with dealers also facing extra costs.
