Below zero cold and miserable in North Central Illinois. Now we get to "dig out" and try to get life back to normal. Many roads and portions of Interstates are still closed. Locally we got 13.5" of snow here in town and within a 50 mile radius, measurements range from 12" - 20". My daughter can see Lake Shore Drive from her dorm room in Chicago and said it looked like a parking lot yesterday. Thank God that darn ground hog says spring is coming!
