No kidding. It's the middle of April and that video looks like Nuclear Winter just set in.

It has been unseasonably cool in the Heart of it All, I'll admit, but spring seems to finally be here. Sunny, blue skies today.
Hey, hey! I'm in coastal Northern CA, and right now the weather looks pretty much just like Ohio. Same temp., too.

I can think of a couple dozen reasons people go to Ohio on purpose... and they all involve rolling and coasting.

Then they are frozen over and trapped there.

I actually went to Ohio to visit its amusement parks.

It may not be a destination for much else, but with Kings Island in the south and Cedar Point up north on Lake Erie, Ohio is a mecca for Coaster Enthusiasts.
And frankly, Magic Mountain could learn a great deal in operations, upkeep, service, cleanliness, and (gasp!) maintaining a non-coaster ride selection from CP.
Being five-ish hours away from both of those parks comes in handy now and again
Hoping to get to both this summer, but it depends on any number of things going right. And I have terrible luck fitting into the RMC trains (Currently dieting and hoping to work it out!) They're both great parks regardless.

Florida Tennessee and Cali are the best.

Tennessee is pretty awesome at the right time of year. It just gets way too cold.

I think you give Oklahoma too much credit. I spent some time in Oklahoma City five+ years ago towards the end of my working career, and my God was that place dreary, flat, and dusty. They thought an evening at Bass Pro Shop and dinner at Applebee's was a big night out. Everything was a chain restaurant or chain store. Everything was in a big box with ample parking. Everything. The city was sprinkled with fabulous mid-century modern architecture slowly decaying, but the citizenry thought Darden Corporation restaurant #2853 with 2-For-1 appetizers fresh from the microwave was more impressive. Plus, they all had a chip on their shoulder that they weren't living in Dallas, as if that was an admirable trait. And I didn't even mention the weather. Oklahoma was soul-crushing, and you just want to evacuate all of them out of there.

Only for the Buckeyes and Amusement Parks...maybe the Memorial tournament...
I for one hate Ohio...but Cedar Point has some amazing coasters! (PS- I live in Ohio, born and raised)...

I like how this thread turned into an argument about which states are awful and which aren't.

If anyone cares, the Oregon public schools are becoming a joke. My blood pressure shoots up all the time having to deal with the teachers. And I think theirs does too, when they have to deal with me.
My son's teacher has been literally drilling it into the kid's heads all year that hurtful words are the equivalent to physical bodily harm. (And this is district approved because I checked.)
And then she turns around and says things like, "Use your brain" to him in an annoyed voice when he makes a mistake.
I got a call from my daughter's teacher. My daughter is basically an angel in school. (Takes after me, of course.) He starts in saying he was upset because she sneezed in class and caused a distraction. It's not the sneeze, he assured me, that upset him, it's the distraction it caused. I had an hour long conversation with that man, and at the end, he was sorry he called. Next time my daughter sneezed in his class, his reply was, "Bless you."

Speaking of problems with public schooling, I just saw something earlier today of second graders being taught about different kinds of sexuality. Was shocked to see all the people defending that. Fourth or fifth grade is usually when "the talk" comes and it should definitely be held off until then.
