Good morning! Still more rain, rain, rain. Looks like a slight break for today, but then more rain tomorrow. Pup is bored, so we will walk today.

Good Morning. Cold here, 29 degrees but for this time of the year it's pretty warm. This was the warmest January here in New York since the 60s.
I walked and we had a sprinkling of snow.

On my morning walk I go around this old church. The thing was built about 225 years ago and is in pretty good shape.




I am in Awe that Home Depot sold aluminum siding then.

Good mmmorning all... up to 15* already...
beats this one, yup that little dark blue spot was us...

Northern Illinois and northwest Indiana were walloped by one of the most powerful winter storms in history between Jan. 31 and Feb. 2, 2011. An initial period of light accumulating snow occurred from the evening of Jan. 31 into the morning of Feb. 1, including lake effect snowfall over northeastern Illinois. The most memorable period of the storm occurred from the afternoon of Feb. 1 through the early morning of Feb. 2, when a powerful area of low pressure tracked slowly north. During this time, the snowstorm was accompanied by fierce winds, gusting to 50 to 60 mph, and even higher at times. The intense winds and heavy snow reduced visibility to near zero at times and produced widespread snowdrifts of 2 to 5 feet, and a few drifts of 10 feet or more. The storm was powerful enough to generate vigorous updrafts, resulting in lightning, thunder, and small hail.

A similar event on Jan. 31-Feb. 2, 2015​

While the winds were not as high and visibility was not significantly reduced for as long a period of time, an eerily similar scenario played out exactly 4 years later in Chicago:

Good Morning. A little cool here today on Long Island but going down to 2 tonight with wind chills of 22 below zero so tomorrow's sunrise walk will be a little "interesting".
