Illinois Weather

glingdidit January 31st, 2008

So this week has pretty much been the epitome of Illinois weather.  On Tuesday I was in St. Louis helping a fellow Admissions Counselor on a recruiting trip.  We left the high school we had visited around 12:30 and headed out to lunch.  It was sunny…and a beautiful 68 degrees.  So we park the car…go in for lunch…and come back out just over an hour later.  It’s now about 50 degrees and raining.  Halfway back to Greenville…we get a call from Jared letting us know that there are tornado warnings in the area…and to watch out.  We make it back to Greenville…and get out of the car there only to find that it’s about 40 degrees…and icky outside.  I drive back to our house…get on some comfy jammies to lounge around in…and take a quick nap.  Jared calls around 4:00 and tells me to look out the window.  I do…and see HUGE snowflakes falling down…and they continue to do so for the next hour.  At this point…it’s about 20 degrees outside.  Seriously…Illinois has some crazy weather…but never THIS crazy!  Now I’m eagerly anticipating the huge snowfall that is apparently headed our way.  We’re forcasted to get up to 10 inches tonight…which means one thing….SLEDDING!  Hopefully we’ll finally get some use out of those sleds we bought last year.
