Record Cold!! Brrrr!

-21F was the official temperature recorded today ... a new record, breaking the old record of -20F 32 years ago on this day, in 1977!

Fortunately, the extreme cold is about to come to an end. It has been warmer in parts of Alaska than here in Illinois all week, this just is not right!

The kids are out of school for the 3rd day in a row due to the extreme weather, and then of course they have Monday off for MLK. so their three day weekend turned into a six day weekend!
