McHenry County Blog

When we got out of the swim meet at McHenry West High School at about 5, I knew I was in trouble.

The snow was really coming down.

I held up traffic on the McHenry Blacktop, going 30 miles per hour or less on the way back to Crystal Lake.

I shoveled three times.

Each effort made the future snow fort bigger.

Each time out got me a bit farther down the driveway.

You can see ridge of snow in the driveway beyond the lantern.

That’s as far as I got.

And, it’s still snowing after 11 PM, although the Tribune weather map shows the clouds no longer over McHenry County.

I’m aching.

I’ve ready for a soothing hot bath.

And some more of Michael Crichton's gene manipulation novel, "Next."
