Flooding bad in Ohio, but not expected to be like 2005

The Tuscarawas Valley welcomes the first day of spring today with a mixed bag of weather and the continuing effects of several days of rainfall and melting snow. Wednesday's rainfall, heavy at times, gave way to snow Wednesday night.

Numerous road closings have been reported, reminiscent of the flooding conditions of January 2005 that saw record elevations behind area dams, including Bolivar, Beach City and Dover.
