Columbus Local Pulse: Winter Weather, Ohio State Hockey, Easton Developments, and More

Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Sunday, November 30th, 2025. We're starting today with weather that's going to shape your Sunday plans. After Saturday's drive back from Ann Arbor brought some snow to northern and central Ohio, we're looking at a chilly day ahead. Expect highs in the low forties, so bundle up if you're heading out. That winter weather advisory we saw this past week is clearing, but keep an eye on conditions as we head into December. On the sports front, Ohio State's men's hockey team had a tough weekend down in Arizona. The Buckeyes fell to Arizona State in overtime Saturday night, losing four to three in Tempe. It was their second straight overtime loss of the series, and the team is now sitting at five wins and nine losses on the season. Adam Eisele had a great game with two goals, but the home team rallied from a three-nothing deficit to pull out the win with just nineteen seconds left in overtime. On a brighter note, Ohio State's basketball team is doing much better. The Buckeyes are five and one heading into today's matchup against Niagara at Value City Arena. That game's happening later today if you're looking for something to catch. In city developments, we're seeing some significant changes around Columbus. Over at Easton Town Center, there's plenty of new energy with fresh restaurant additions this year including Mastro's for upscale steaks and Bar Italia for Italian cuisine. Several new retailers have also opened their doors, including the first Ohio locations for Todd Snyder and Peter Millar. If you're looking for employment, there are currently around fifty thousand jobs available across Columbus on the major job boards, with positions ranging from delivery drivers to distribution associates. Downtown at Green Lawn Cemetery, there's an important project underway that's affecting some families. The nearly one hundred eighty year old cemetery is relocating about twenty to thirty graves that sit on top of a storm sewer easement put in back in the nineteen forties or fifties. The cemetery association says this is proactive work to prevent future issues. They plan to have all the relocations completed by the end of March, and affected families have been understanding about the moves, even though it's emotional work. Looking ahead to the week, Ohio State hockey fans have something to look forward to. The Buckeyes host Minnesota Thursday and Friday nights starting at six thirty. Game one is Peanuts Night with special merchandise giveaways, and Friday is Holidays and Hockey night featuring the annual Teddy Bear Toss where fans can donate stuffed animals to Ronald McDonald House. For those interested in supporting local business, Small Business Saturday is coming up, with Ohio City offering a great opportunity to explore local eateries and specialty shops.
