TOLEDO, Ohio — It has been weeks of warmer-than-usual weather and a mild winter to wait through for the start of ice cream season. While the freezer section is always open, your favorite local soft-serve spot might not be.
But that will soon change for a lot of places. If you are impatient, don't worry - there are even a few that are open year-round.
