Winter finally arrives in Ada - time to get out the plow

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, January 10, 2016

Old Man Winter arrived in Ada on Jan. 10.  The old guy has a mean streak as he arrived the same day that all Ohio Northern Unviersity students were to return to campus.

Like it or not, he's here. Ken Collins drove around town and provided these views to prove that winter is finally in Ada.

Earlier in the day Hardin County Sheriff's Office announced a snow advisory. Another story on this page tells about a weather-related accident on State Route 235.

An Ada winter scene you've never seen

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, January 10, 2016

What's going on here?

That's correct. What's wrong with this picture. (We've asked this question before.)

This Main Street Ada photo - looking south at the Ada Theatre - represents winter...however....

Ken Collins took "both" photos and The Icon merged them into one. The right portion of the photo shows this Ada location on the first day of winter. You might remember it. You could have mowed your lawn that day.

The left portion of this photo shows this same Ada location on Jan. 10, or the first serious snowfall of the winter.

It's as if winter came in like a lamb and suddenly turned into a roaring beast.

Hardin County is under a winter weather advisory.

The advisory is no fluke as it demonstrates the conditions of the road in this weather-related traffic accident north of Ada.

While rescue workers were on the scene, Ada-Liberty Township Fire blocked the northbound Route 235 at Hardin County Road 20, about two miles north of Ada.

The photo above looks to the north, with one addition photo in this series, below, is shot from the Liberty Baptist Church parking lot on County Road 20 just west of 235.
