Ohio has been pummeled by several winter storms to start the year, including January’s record-setting cross-country winter storm that dropped over ten inches of snow in nearby Cincinnati.
The Ohio Valley is slowly warming back up through the rest of the week, and temperatures are forecast to reach the mid-50s in Batavia on Saturday.
