Weather Beats: Cold Snap Hits Ohio and County Farmland
Memory of even the old timers notes a brutal cold wave in Ohio with readings near ten below and zero by midnight. Columbus and Cambridge recorded the coldest in the state. December remained unusually cold with no melt of five inches of snow and another inch added Saturday night. Wayne County soybeans, buried under snow after a first year in large scale farming, face discouraged future cultivation due to incomplete frost maturity and unfavourable fall weather. Much corn remains in fields, mostly in shock, but not seriously damaged. Tuesday rain froze on sidewalks and windshields, keeping travel risky as the long snowpack persisted.
