Winter In Illinois

What's This Global Warming All About?
It Hasn't Effected The Danville Area Recently. The ONLY Bittersweetness To This Is That This Is The First Winter My Sister-InLaw Has Expierenced In Illinois. She Is A Native Southern Californian. Almost Paradise Country.
My Brother Tuck Recently Retired In San Diego As A Train Operator. His Wife Evie Has Lived No Place Other Than Southern California. She Has Never Had The Opportunity To Sit And Watch It Snow. She Nor Their Dog Has Ever Had The Opportunity To Play In The White Stuff Until Recently. We Have Another 4-5 Inches Predicted In A Couple Days. Shortly After This Snowfall That Have Predicted Strong Winds That Will Create Drifting.
My Being The President Of The Senior Bowling League It Appears I May Have To Cancel Bowling For This Coming Thursday. Unfortunatly Tuck Has Been Working On Mondays So He May Have To Miss Bowling Next Week Since The Make Up Day Will Be On That Day.
I Hope Evie Get's Her Share Of Snow And Cold Temps. I Think I Have Already Reached My Limit And I Have Begun A Countdown Until April 1st.
Evie's Journey To The Midwest Made The Local Commercial News In Today's Edition.
It Told The Story Of Her Spending 50 Years In The Land Of Paradise And Her Move To America's Heartland Just In Time For Winter. Her Facination For Snow Will Be Shortlived I'm Sure. She Will Eventually Be Like The Rest Of Us. Snow For Christmas.
She Does Have Something To Look For. January Thaw! I Have Witnessed Several January Thaws Throughout My Years. Hoping To See It Happen Soon. The Forcast Has Predicted This Cold Snap To Continue Through Next Week. I Don't Believe It Broke 10 Degree's Today. That Was Actual Air Temperatures Without The Wind Chill Factor Which Makes It Well Below Zero.
He Needs To Drive Her By Lake Vermilion While It's Frozen Over In Thick Ice.
Let Her Create Her Own Snowman In Her Yard. Make Her Snow Angel Like She Has Mentioned To Do Once Danville Got It's First Measuable Snowfall.
As For Me. I'm Happy For Her Because She Is Not Much Different Than A Young Child. I Still Would Enjoy Being Near Her When A Good Old Thunderstorm Passes Through. Tornado Warnings, High Winds, Lightning And Thunder And Yes Even Hail! You Know She Will Questions Ice Falling Out Of The Sky In The Summer Months.
My Truck Battery Konked Out On Me And Needs To Be Replaced. Got A Flat Tire On The Car So It Appears I Will Be Driving On A Donut For Awhile. Money Is Tight For Alot Of People. Nobody Wants These Types Of Problems In This Kind Of Temperatures.
So I Guess I Will Be Monitoring All The Weather Stations Tomorrow To Determine Whether Or Not I Should Cancel Bowling For Thursday.
It Would Be Much Simpler If We Were To Fast Forward Our Lives To About April 1st 2010. That Would Not Break My Heart, It Would Warm It.
