Posted by Fred Steiner on January 14, 2014 - 12:35pm

Leave it to Ohio weather.

One day (Jan. 6 and Jan. 7) it's 15 below zero and all the pipe in the house are suspect. Three days later (Jan. 10 and Jan. 11) it's 65 degrees warmer and people are walking around in shorts - we spotted some university students dressed this way.

According to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer, that's the low and high of the weather during the past seven days.
