Ban on open burning results from drought in portions of Ohio
Never before in the 24-year history of the Drought Monitor has Ohio seen such a range of dry conditions, according to Lindsay Johnson, a climatologist with the National Drought Mitigation Center. “This is unusual for Ohio,” Ms. Johnson said. Only a small corner of northeastern Ohio, encompassing less than 5 percent of the state, has normal conditions. Much of the state is wallowing in dry circumstances.
