More Weird Winter

The weather continues to be a bit unusual for January in central Illinois.  It was normal and cold for a few days last week, and even snowed a little bit.  Then, yesterday morning as we left for church, we found icy trees with frosty limbs and needles.  A little bit of snow had fallen in the night and was blowing around in the high winds.  The temperature was rising though, so roads were slippery, slushy, and nasty.  And, there was a terribly thick fog.

It did look pretty though.

Yesterday, it was blustery and wet all day.  We heard ice falling off the house and being blown up against the living room window all afternoon.

At bedtime, thunder and lightning storms began, and it rained enough in the night to melt nearly all the snow.  Now it is windy again.  

It is a different kind of winter here this year!
