RES can hibernate in canada, ohio should be no problem, so long as it's deep enough to not freeze solid. RES have been seen swimming under the ice, so they can handle cold periods quite well. The only concern I would have, is if the pond is not fenced in, and your turtle decided to wonder off. Turtles NEVER lose the instinct to hibernate, you could keep her inside for 30 years and she'd be fine.
