Something is seriously wrong with the weather across the country this week- Freezing rain/wintry mix (albeit light) as far south as southwestern Kansas and the Texas Panhandle, 13.8" of snow officially reported at the North Platte, NE airport yesterday, Winter Storm Watches through the plains (and snow forecasted for Chazz's area), and also a Wintry Mix in the forecast for southern Wisconsin. For me, rain. The record low for Rockford, IL was set at 25 (previously 26), yet my record low remains out
of reach, at 19.
This just isn't right.
However, this is an encouraging sign:
WIDESPREAD FREEZING TEMPERATURES
HAVE ENDED THE GROWING SEASON SO THIS IS THE LAST FREEZE WARNING
THAT WILL BE ISSUED THIS YEAR.
