Special Weather Statement issued March 13 at 2:44PM EDT by NWS Wilmington OH (details ...)

Very strong wind gusts and dry soil is leading to areas of blowing dust across the area. This is causing visibility to be reduced to one mile or less in localized area.
Motorists should be prepared for rapidly changing visibility. Slow down and leave plenty of distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
As winds slowly decrease late this afternoon into the evening, blowing dust should diminish.

T.K. Klosterman of Coldwater cradles a 91/4-pound sweet potato that he recently dug from his garden. This was the first year Klosterman planted sweet potatoes. He did not use commercial fertilizers, just leaf compost he received from the village, he said. Many of the sweet potatoes he retrieved were extra large, including another that tipped the scale at 83/4 pounds.
