NewsDepth 2020-2021 | Episode 18


In this week's episode, we take a look at Mother Nature's frosty valentine  - the first Nor'easter of the year. Winter weather has folks prepping snowplows in Iowa and in Minnesota's Northwest Angle, the only way in and out of town is a drive across the frozen Lake of the Woods.

Plus, did you know that Toledo almost wasn't in Ohio? Mary's got the unique history of our state's border dispute in this week's  Know Ohio.

Finally, time to get in touch with your sentimental side! We meet American Greetings employees who design and write valentines. Then we ask you to write your own!
