The warmest winter in Ohio, isn't this a bad thing?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:You could always move to Minnesota. I’m originally from Central Ohio and winters here in MN remind me of winters in Ohio back in the 1970s. Plenty of winter activities here..although this year we do have less snow than usual and it’s causing the cancellation of some traditional outdoor events that require lots of snow. Just remember – this year is a La Nina weather pattern and that’s why we’re seeing some unusually warm temperatures and drought conditions. It’s a normal weather pattern – do a bit of Googling about La Nina to see some good scientific explanations about the weather pattern we’re in this year. Here’s a link to start you off..
