Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Sunday, January 5, 2025. We're starting off the new year with a major winter storm warning issued for our area. The 10 Weather Impact team has issued a Weather Impact Day for Sunday evening and Monday due to the likely threat of the biggest snowfall we've seen this winter, with 6 to 12 inches of snow expected and reduced visibility and dangerous driving conditions, especially on roundabouts[1][5].
In other news, Ohio's job market saw steady growth in November, with the unemployment rate remaining unchanged at 4.3 percent and the labor force participation rate climbing to 62.6 percent. Employers created enough new jobs to meet the demand of Ohioans looking for work, adding 3,900 private-sector jobs in November. However, the state continues to lag behind its neighbors and the rest of the country in economic freedom rankings[4].
Moving to real estate, we don't have any major updates on notable commercial or residential property sales or new development projects today. However, it's worth noting that home equity loans have seen a drop recently, with HELOCs plummeting to fresh 2024 lows as the holidays arrived[3].
From city hall, there have been no recent decisions that significantly affect daily life, but we'll keep you updated on any developments.
The weather today will certainly impact activities and events. With heavy snowfall expected, we urge everyone to be cautious while driving and walking. Make sure to have your winter gear ready, including boots, jackets, hats, gloves, and scarfs. Also, consider stocking up on essentials and doing your grocery shopping early to avoid last-minute rushes[1].
In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today. However, it's always a good idea to support local businesses, especially during challenging weather conditions.
Looking ahead to community events, we'll have to wait until the weather clears up for any outdoor activities. However, there are always plenty of indoor events and activities to enjoy in Columbus.
In local school achievements, Ohio State University fans are still celebrating the Rose Bowl, and we wish the team all the best in their future endeavors[3].
For a feel-good community story, we have the heartwarming tale of two friends connected forever after a kidney transplant, a reminder of the kindness and generosity in our community[3].
In today's crime report, we have a few incidents to note. A pedestrian was injured in a hit-and-run on East Broad Street, and another pedestrian died after a hit-and-run on Sullivant Avenue. The Columbus Police Department is investigating these incidents and urges anyone with information to come forward[3].
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and warm today.
