It’s nice to find a photo of an Ada water tower and a little piece of the history of the community a thousand miles away.
There it was—a football for sale at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Lakeland, Fla., with one side of the package showing the Ada water tower and a brief history of the Ada-made Wilson football.
A high of 46 last Wednesday and a low of -1 the day before. Here's the previous seven day weather highs and lows from Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.
Ada school will be closed on Wednesday, Jan. 30, and Thursday, Jan. 31, due to low temperatures and wind chill, according to Meri Skilliter, superintendent.
The announcement was made on Ohio Alerts at 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday.
A wind chill warning remains in effect from today (Jan. 29) until 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 31. Dangerously cold wind chills are expected for all of northwest Ohio. Wind chills as low as 45 below zero expected.
The dangerously cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in less than 10 minutes.
According to the National Weather Service, this is one of the coldest "arctic air intrusions" in recent memory, especially for Ohio and Michigan. From today through Thursday, expect frigid temperatures and bitterly cold wind chills, likely leading to widespread record lows.
The Kenton Hardin Health Department will be closed Wednesday, Jan. 30, and Thursday, Jan. 31 for weather. The deparemnt will resume regular business hours on Friday, Feb. 1.
