Winter just around the corner says Yanni, Ohio's most famous Yeti -- with meteorologists predicting a "Wintry Battle Zone" for Ohio.

Ohio's Yanni the Yeti Sees Shadow - 2 More Months of Summer Weather
The legendary Yeti was spotted at Edgewater Beach beneath a small shrub.  After making his brief appearance he exclaimed, "This heat is _____ ridiculous!" and proceeded to jump in a cooler left behind by some picnickers.   After an icy bath and a few cold beverages he promised to several passersby that "I could be the best yeti you've ever had" which we hope means a good winter season is ahead. Even more promising are the forecasts emerging for the upcoming Winter season.  The Accuweather forecast is here.
