We Found IT!! Warm and NO SNOW!!!

It was warmer back home in McHenry County, Illinois, than it has been in a long time when we left yesterday. All that melting snow really caused us to get a lot of spray on the newly-washed car so that you wouldn't hardly know that it had been done.

Finally, though, really felt warm when we got to Gibson City, Il., where we had a pit stop at the local McDonald's. The water treatment plant of Gibson City is called City of Gibson for some reason.

Then, just north of Vincennes, Indiana, we stopped seeing any vestiges of the white stuff, although Liz, who was wearing sunglasses initially thought the rocks for drainage was snow.

Obviously, by the time we got south of Yorkville, these folks had not received anywhere near the amount we got during the Groundhog Blizzard as I have seen it called.

And, speaking of Groundhog Day, I understand that Woodstock Willie's (in Woodstock, Illinois) prognostication had to be put off until the weekend after the 2nd because they couldn't find his burrow under all that snow. Even if they had, no one would have been able to shovel out to the square.

Not Going to Miss That Lousy Snow. Hope It's All Gone and Done for the Winter When We Get Back. --RoadDog
