Here are just 2 pics of some of the clouds yesterday.... the first pic looks like the clouds got whisked by a paintbrush with really fine bristles:
This one here has a jet trail from O' Hare running through it, but this cloud reminded me of an angel wing or something:

Steve, That first one sure is cool. Little better temp wise out there now. This next week looks to be fairly nice. Any luck getting the car started?

Thanks Josh! Yes, the car started this morning. It was rough and required a few tries, but it fired. I drove it all over the place today, and every start has been perfect. I bought a new alternator, t-belt and t-belt tensioner for it today, looks like I have a big Sunday project now. lol
Temps today? Its crazy to think that that 25 degrees feels downright warm after the last 2 days. lol Got a few flurries today, too.

Yeah it does not even feel cold in the city tonight. It feels like it is 50.

Same down here...It has felt so miserable here (I know you guys got it MUCH worse than us,but I'm still going to whine  ) and last night was 2 below so it was great to see the temp soar into the 40's today with a bit of sun.

You see? Suffer a few days of sub-zero temps a year, and the 30 and 40 degree temps that follow feel downright nice, do they not?

Almost makes you want to get the motorcycle out and go for a little tour.We have snow on the plate for in the morning,but more than likely it will be rain.It was around this time last year that we got beat down by that ice storm that took our power for 5 days.  I hope we don't get a repeat of that crap.No fun and I still have trees dying from it.

I see they mentioned flurries, but where are the clouds? Not a daggone cloud in the sky--as blue as it gets.
Anyways, anyone think this winter has been above average regarding sun levels? I cannot recall a day where we had over 2 completely cloudy days. There has been at least a few days of sunny weather every week since I can remember.
The upcoming forecast looks a bit chilly, but full of sun.

Well, it was sunny all the way until around 4pm here, when it clouded over a bit. Around 5:30 we started getting some light flurries, which are still coming down as I write this.
