The Weather

The weather lately has broken records.  The weather started wreaking havoc on Jan. 12 and continued to unleash it's fury through Jan. 31.  We finally got some relief on Feb. 1 when the temperature went above zero!  This week the lows dropped to 30 below.  It was crazy.  Schools weren't in session.  Businesses shut down.  It was like us Illinoisans forgot what winters were actually like.  Illinois is known for their brutal winters.  We have just been "spoiled" by some mild winters the past few years.  The snow has also been relentless.  I am so thankful that mom, me and Kim spent a week in Florida.  I tell Mike I am so sick of Illinois winters, but we always get through it and when spring comes, it's the best thing ever!
