Good morning, Toledo.

Today in Metroparks Toledo woodlands, visitors can spot the distinctive yellow blooms of witchhazel.

The late-season flowers add color to winter and serve as a nectar source for emerging insect pollinators.

Local housing groups warned that a federal funding shift is reducing support for programs that help keep families housed — HUD paused a $145 million opportunity and will allow only 30% of current funding levels, putting 10,000 Ohioans at risk.

As temperatures drop across Ohio, local health experts urge residents to dress in layers and stay hydrated to avoid frostbite (symptoms include numbness, pain, or slurred speech).

Those spending time outdoors should monitor their condition and seek warmth immediately if symptoms develop.
