Darn global warming! Imagine how bad it would be without it. LOL Welcome back to the midwest.
Well, Peoria is at 32 degrees and it's been raining since about midnight. I don't have any idea what the icing is like because it's still dark. It's expected to rain all day and then turn icy again when the temperature drops this afternoon. So far so good though. Let's speed up this global warming and get it up to around 72 degrees for the rest of the winter.
