The forecast for today is that we won't see 0° F (-17.778° C) and it will be the coldest day in a decade. I decided to track it for history…or to make it feel even worse!!!! At midnight: That's -2° F (-18.889° C). The wind chill is a balmy -22° F (-30° C). We're off to [...] I took these pictures on Sept. 18, but then forgot about them so I'm back dating this post. Again, here's how it looked during the rains:
And a few days later…this water receded pretty quickly.
At least the ducks were happy…
But this road was closed for 1.5 weeks after the rain. Even after it was opened, the water [...] The waters are receding in some locations, but going up in other areas. Here's the picture I posted on the 13th during the rains. Here's an update. Unfortunately, I didn't angel the picture in the same direction. The tree in the picture below is the front far left tree in the picture above. Sorry about that, [...] My cousin's home inland from Beaumont is okay, but that entire area will be without electricity for some time. The grid is under floodwater. My cousin's husband has been building them a second home on the Galveston peninsula. They haven't been able to get to this home, but have seen it on a web cam.

Is it just me or does anybody else here in the Chicago area feel like a hypocrite? We're under a flash flood warning. Seems rather silly considering what is going on in the Houston area. We haven't had a great deal of rain, but it's been a lot in a very short time. I looked at [...] We had four hours of big storms Monday night. The sky was constantly lit up with lightning. Today, the Chicago Tribune provided statistics demonstrating the storm's magnitude. In just four hours: 90,000 strikes of lightening across NE Illinois Monday evening. Below is [...] Silly me. I thought the calendar said today was April 28. Oops. So silly of me. It can’t be April 28, it must be February 28 because is SNOWED TODAY!!!! No, I’m not kidding. See the pictures below! Sigh. Will this winter ever end? The snow actually stuck for a while, but I had to leave [...] Spring has sprung (FINALLY) here in the Chicago area! Last week we reached 70 degrees (21.1 C) for the first time in SIX long months. Can you imagine how wonderful that felt after this season’s winter? The birds have been serenading us this last week from dawn to dusk. I’ve been watching a couple of Cardinals [...] In today’s thrilling and exciting news…surely worthy of Twitter, if I Twittered…the snow has turned to rain and thunder storms. The backyard is a mosh pit, and Reggie seems drawn to it like a rubber duck. Fun times for moi. In other words, Reggie went out this morning and got dirtier than I think he’s [...] |
