Take
heart Logan County and know that Mother Nature isn't just playing
tricks with us Illinoisans. The top picture in today's edition was
sent to us by reader Patti Crosier Lyon from Alabama. She wrote that
the temperature was 12 degrees and there was snow on the ground, a
very unusual sight in her location even in February.
Meanwhile, in Logan County the snow
from Sunday and Monday acquired some significant depths as well as
drifting. We sincerely hope that no one is stepping out the door
when this pile of snow decides to drop!
