Jenny Derringer/C-N Photo

On Jan. 3, the temperature in Defiance was reg-istered at -3 by the sign at Werlor, Inc. on Ohio 15. Minus-3 might seem like a heat-wave on Tuesday, when the forecasted low temperature is -13 with wind chills much lower.

Meno Garza, of Sherwood, clears through knee-deep snow Sunday on

Vine Street. Between 9-14 inches of snow was reported in the area.

Trey Boyers, 11, East Second Street, Defiance, puts the finishing colorful touches on a snowman on Sunday. Approximately 9

inches of snow dropped on Defiance, allow-ing kids and adults to venture into their cre-ative side when building snow characters.

Plane crash kills one

AP Photo

Emergency crews work near a passenger plane that crashed upon landing at the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport in Aspen, Colo., on Sunday. The private jet went off the side of a runway in Aspen, flipped over and burst into flames, killing one man and injuring two others, authorities said. Officials said the flight to the wealthy mountain resort city originated in Mexico and all three aboard were pilots and Mexican men.

Alex Burchetta, director of operations for the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office, identified the man who died as Sergio Carranza Brabata of Mexico. He did not release the names of the two injured, and he did not know where in Mexico the 54-year-old Brabata lived. Burchetta said the plane went off the right side of the runway Sunday afternoon, flipped over and burst into flames.

Report is expected on shielding Great Lakes
