Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for January 8, 2025.
We're starting off with some breaking news from the past few days. A winter storm watch has been issued for our area, effective from Sunday morning through Monday evening, so make sure to prepare for extreme cold, snow, and slippery roads. The Licking County Emergency Warming Center Task Force has also announced the opening of a warming center to provide shelter for individuals due to the cold temperatures[3].
In local job market news, Ohio continues to see positive job growth. According to recent data, Ohio employers added 5,500 jobs in November, bringing the total to 54,900 jobs added this year. The unemployment rate remains steady at 4.3%, which is slightly higher than the national rate of 4.2%. While this is good news, experts caution that inflation continues to be a concern, especially for lower-paid Ohioans[4].
Moving on to real estate, we don't have any major updates on notable property sales or new development projects today. However, we do want to remind everyone to stay safe on the roads and sidewalks as the winter weather sets in. Speaking of which, do you know if you're required to clear snow off your sidewalk? According to Columbus city code, the answer is yes, so make sure to take care of that to avoid any fines[1].
In city hall news, there haven't been any major decisions affecting daily life in the past few days. However, we do want to remind everyone that the city is working hard to keep our streets safe and clear during this winter weather.
The weather is definitely having an impact on today's activities and events. Many schools and businesses are closed or delayed due to the snow and cold temperatures. Make sure to check our website for the latest updates on closures and delays. As for the forecast, we're expecting more snow and cold temperatures today, so bundle up and stay warm[1].
In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today. However, we do want to mention that McDonald's is offering McValue menu deals in Central Ohio, so be sure to check those out if you're looking for a affordable meal option[1].
Looking ahead to the next few days, there are several community events worth noting. The Columbus Blue Jackets are taking on the Toronto Maple Leafs at Nationwide Arena on Friday, and the Ohio State men's basketball team is facing off against the Indiana Hoosiers at the Schottenstein Center on Sunday.
In local school achievements, we want to congratulate the Ohio State senior midfielder Michael Adedokun and North Carolina junior forward Kate Faasse on being voted Hermann Trophy winners[3].
Finally, in today's crime report, we have a few incidents to report. Police are investigating the death of a child near the Franklinton area, and there have been several reports of car accidents and slippery roads due to the winter weather. Please be careful out there and stay safe[1][5].
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
