Temps in low twenties, clear skis, with mild wind from West. A crisp clear and wonderful morning. River at DP is slowly dropping, now at 11.35ft. We have 1 inch of ice topped by 1/2 inch of snow in the backyard. Maybe less ice in areas that drain better during the sleet/snow storm of last week. Up at 5:00am to drive Grand kids to O'Hare for flights back to schools--nice two week visit. |
