Impressed with the job IDOT and other snow crews did around the state. Traveled to Chicago on Saturday was expecting some rough roads and they were in really great shape the whole weekend.

Re: Friendly Bob
I need to get there regardless, as I had to skip yesterday due to the holiday. Was crowded as hell last week, hoping for a smaller crowd today.
Um. No. Saturday and Sunday I tried to get to my cabin in the woods. State marked roads were snow covered and icy, including I80, I39, and I180.
On Sunday, I was on I80 east of Princeton, what irked me most was an IDOT snow plow driving in a mostly clear right lane with the plow down and spreading salt. The left lane was snow covered.
Marshall County roads were significantly better than any of the State routes I drove on.

Looks like the freedom Caucus should be named The Self Preservation Caucus. Boy what a bunch of spineless wonders. BE FOR SOMETHING! Stand up for some principle. You people are the laughing stock of the state!

Yesterday in Berwyn it got up to 2F and I was like wow! Heatwave. It certainly felt warmer than the -8.

What was the point of doing all that work to bolster DeSantis last year only to knife him in the end?

Promised myself I would get to the gym today if it gets above zero. So, like a 50-50 chance…

Be careful charging up your EV. It might take longer than you think.

Took the mail out to the mailbox and dumped the compost bucket on the pile. That’s enough of that for today.

It’s cold as the dickens here. Plus, teachers are wizard miracle workers who are doing amazing things over e-learning.
