McHenry County Blog

This one is in water in a pot hole on Route 31 last Sunday before it started snowing.

It's of a tree on the east side of the road.

There was no wind in the valley except for that created by the cars hurtling past.

None hit this one while I was taking pictures.

The hole had been patched once, but obviously needed a second treatment.

After driving down from the Wisconsin line, I concluded that there is going to be a tax increase to fix roads that Illinois residents will swallow.

I would hope taxpayers would not bite their tongues while being jarred by one of numerous potholes that are even on Randall Road in McHenry County.

I have never seen roads as bad as this in Illinois...not even when Governor Dan Walker called for a $50 million supplemental specifically to fix potholes.

And, I’m not talking about Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

That would be capitalized.

This is ice on trees at Crystal Lake’s Main Beach near the outlet.

The ice on the smaller tree twigs was even more beautiful today.
