Happy Polar Vortex! It's Chelsea.

Now that's not a sentence I thought I'd ever say, but I truly mean it. If you're fortunate, you won't have to brave the frozen tundra outside today. If you do have to go out, please stay as warm and safe as possible! The weather is gross, but there is one good thing that will come out of this, and that's a nice solid freeze. Why is that a good thing, you ask? Because that means that once it warms up a tiny bit, we can all go ice skating at the metro parks together! The outdoor rinks will be nice and solid, giving us the perfect opportunity to pretend like we could totally land a triple lutz.

The Best Bowling Alleys In Columbus

🎳

If your idea of enjoying winter is to ignore it completely, I think I can help. Bowling is the perfect indoor activity to escape the cold. There's usually beer involved and it's always fun, even if, like myself, you're completely terrible at it. Also, some of these places have laser tag too, which just sounds like an epic, fun night out.

Talking Points ❤️

Sorry folks, Columbus is closed. Moose out front shoulda told ya. ❄️

Columbus City Schools closed early, and after that le déluge. Columbus State closed, area schools closed in droves, and finally even the hardest nuts to crack gave in:

Ohio State's main campus is shut

down

, and

so is the United States Postal Service

. Take a hint and stay indoors today, if at all possible.

The Basketball Tournament returns to Columbus 🏀

The Ohio State men's basketball alumni team "Scarlet and Gray" will be returning to Columbus this summer to take part in The Basketball Tournament for the third year in a row. Year 1 saw them fall in the semi-finals, while year 2 saw them fall in the quarterfinals to Jimmer Fredette's squad. Ohio State alumni such as Jared Sullinger, Aaron Craft, Jon Diebler, David Lighty William Buford, and even Greg Oden have made appearances. Tournament winners receive $2 million to split amongst themselves, so stakes are fairly high. Opening weekend will take place at Capital University for the 2nd year in a row, and

tickets are now on sale
