MAJOR rain heading my way over the next couple of days. 4" or more Wednesday into Thursday.  :o

I better get the ladder out after work today and check on my gutters!

I'm about 60 miles west of Chicago.

I might have to fit Connie with a set of pontoons.

Good luck with that. Be glad it's above freezing.

The bright side is the rain should wash all the sand and crap off your roads.

We just took a lightening strike here at work and all the phones are down. Maybe I should go disable my building's generator so if the power goes out we can all go home!

4.5 inches of rain so far, another 1 to 2 on the way today. Guess what the forecast calls for over the next 7 days?

The water is probably already gone at Scott. Just a sewer overload.
That's pretty flat land over there.
