It’s Monday. Mother Nature took a huge dump on our neighbors in Northern Indiana over the weekend. There were areas that got over 3 feet of the horrid white stuff which thankfully we avoided. Our problem for the last couple weeks has been sub-zero temperatures and drifting snow. However, we are supposed to enter a warming trend starting today.  Warmer temperatures and rain should help wash away all this snow and salt. I’m definitely looking forward to that.

Spent the weekend mostly indoors. We did take a drive out to the Kankakee River Saturday afternoon to check out the ice jam that was causing flooding to some of the homes along the river. The nearby power plant was going to start releasing some of the warmer water from their cooling lakes directly into the river to help melt the accumulated ice and force it downriver. With the temperature expected to get above freezing and rain in the forecast, I can only see conditions getting worse out there.

And winter isn’t done with us yet.
