Land of Frozen Tundra and Snow Has Become Land of the Million Ponds

We just got back from a one-day trip out to DeKalb, Illinois, and we found the farther west and south you go, the less snow accumulation there was as we saw plenty of ground amid all the innumerable small ponds that abound everywhere because of all the melting snow and frozen ground //// We even saw more land and ponds here in northeast McHenry County, Illinlis, as we got closer to home. Still a lot of snow on the ground at the house, though. //// We spent last night in DeKalb, after seeing NIU beat Bowling Green in the first round of the MAC Basketball tournament. The girls also won yesterday. //// Planning on going to the McHenry County Civil War Round Table meeting in Woodstock in a short time. //// We may or may not get 1-3 opr 3-8 inches of snow in a predicted storm later tonight. That is not good news. //// --RoadDog
