Good afternoon, this is your communications 422 update, and I am your host, Holly Dunfee.
Stranded airline passengers around the globe are now calling airports and hotel rooms "home" due to flight cancellations caused by the volcano eruption in Iceland.
The volcano is continuing to spew ash over a large portion of the European continent.
According to the International Air Transport Association, some airways in Austria, Sweden and Finland have started to re-open and allow flights, but millions of passengers worldwide continue to remain stuck... due to the on-going cancellations.
Moving across the globe to our local Columbus area, Warmer weather IS on the way according to Columbus' meteorologist Chris Bradley. Temperatures could reach the mid
80s by the end of this week.
For today, it's partly cloudy skies with a chance of thunderstorms after midnight.
While today's weather may be dull and gloomy, there is good news for the health of man's best friend.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, The Ohio State University Veterinary Clinic is offering free eye examinations for service canines. Veterinarians will be checking for cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachments and other associated eye problems.
This program sponsored in part by the American College of Veterinary (opt-toe-mologists) will help to diagnose and treat any vision problems found in service dogs.
Service canines are not the only animals getting attention in the Columbus area.
On the entertainment front, The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium will open the new Polar Frontier this coming Thursday. According to the Columbus Zoo, The exhibit, will feature twin polar bears from the Artic Ocean. I am happy to see the new exhibit and believe The Polar Frontier will be a great addition to the Columbus area, while helping to boost the local economy as new tourist attraction.
That’s all for your communications 422 afternoon update. I’m your host Holly Dunfee. Thanks for listening.
