January Blues

Well it seems the whole country is besieged with snow and rain and strange storms. We in Chicago had below Zero last week, then teens again, now 40 degrees for 2 days and will drop to 1 degree tomorrow. My daughter and family in Pine Mountain Club, CA are experiencing 10 inches or more of snow, now rain and winds. I don't remember any year with this much destructive storms all over the country. Here is Illinois, in Kankakee area, the river is overflowing for the first time anyone can remember because the bends are clogged with ice, and then the rain comes in and the homes are flooded. Some residents cannot get out of their homes. We in Aurora, IL are fine as far as the streets are concerned, but the cold and wind, Wow!! Well that's all for now.
