Ohio winter expected to stay unusually warm

Updated:

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio is in the thick of an unusual winter that has brought the state warm temperatures and little snow.

Cincinnati's winter ranks second for the lack of snow, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.

In Columbus, the season ranks 6th among those with the least snow, and The Columbus Dispatch reports the city so far is having its ninth-warmest winter on record.

Temperatures throughout Ohio were expected to rise to the upper 50s and low 60s on Tuesday.

National Weather Service meteorologist Jeff Sites says a weather pattern associated with cool Pacific Ocean temperatures near the equator is keeping cold air from sweeping south into the U.S. from Canada. He says Ohio's long-range forecast calls for more winter warmth.
