Don't have to go very far north either John. Temp swings here normally from about -10 to 100, but I've seen hotter, and I've seen colder. Coldest I can recall was -25. That's cold.... I don't care where you are. For at least two weeks it didn't get much above zero here. Nights were down around -15. Then, just like that it warmed up to 56. THAT SUCKS! Now all the cold stuff is sweating. Went out to the garage to get a tool out of the toolbox today. Water literally dripping off the drawers. Cubs were as wet as they would be if they were out in the rain.... but worse because the water was everywhere. Under the hood, on the motor.... everything since it's condensation. Now it's raining. Ground hasn't even thawed yet, so it's soupy and slick on top, but still froze underneath. Tonight temps are supposed to drop, and by tomorrow afternoon, 22 deg and snow. It's said if you don't like Illinois weather, wait five minutes, it will change. No one knows it like those of us who live here.
