Feels like October in Ohio

Between the temperatures and the autumnal light, October is turning out lovely. According to statistics collected by local weather observer Guy Verhoff, for the first 18 days of October high temperatures were 65 degrees (F) or warmer.  Twice during that time the high temp was 79 degrees. It's only been in the last few days that we are shifting away from that.

Fall days have fall nights and those temperature are staying lower.   In fact, October night time lows have been in the 40's for 14 of 21 days. 

ONU sheds the rain and has a great homecoming, just the same

Never mind the H20 - Ohio Northern University celebrated its 2013 homecoming wet and dry.

Everything went off without that wet hitch. There was a homecoming queen crowning, football game, health fair, Spielman walk/run, lots of food and music.

Donald Traxler captured some of the homecoming parade floats and bands. His photos are available in the photo scrapbook attachment at the bottom of this story.

Ka BOOM!

It was the Fourth of July on Oct. 19 in Ada. Ohio Northern University's homecoming took place and one of the evening events was a fireworks display. Click here for more homecoming photos. (Donald Traxler photo)
