The winter solstice arrived on the 21st with near record warmth in southeast Ohio. Temperatures reached into the upper 60s to lower 70s. In a fast wind flow above the ground, a squall line raced northeast into the area after midnight. The gusty showers had a few embedded thunderstorms and preceded a larger area of rain. Some minor wind damage occurred.||The 1 to 2 inches of rain from the 21st into the 22nd caused the larger streams to swell.
