COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Dozens of schools were closed or
delayed in parts of central and southern Ohio as crews continued to work
to rid roads of snow and ice from the latest winter storm.
Counties
south and southeast of Columbus reported hazardous driving conditions
early Monday as remnants of Sunday’s storm hung around before moving off
to the east.
The conditions were accompanied by bone-chilling
temperatures in a winter that just won’t end. Wind chills were below
zero early Monday in many parts of the state.
The state
transportation department has been ordering more salt to help
communities, but officials say demand has outpaced supply. They say the
state could wind up using nearly twice the average winter amount of
630,000 tons.
