And my journals include hand-drawn art and cursive writing. I made up this header font way back in grade school in the 1970's - 6th grade I think. I call it "Cursive Ribbon." Here is a sample. I will post the typed text in comments.  |

“Things Break Under Ice…”
1-9-14
They call it a “Polar Vortex.” We had below-zero weather for two days and three nights.
January 5th – that night it started dropping but good. -17 by 03:00 CST. That was the coldest night. -13 was the high temperature on January 6th. It was also the low temperature on January 7th.
I’ve worked in downtown Chicago since Christmas of 1997. This is the 1st time I have seen the Chicago river freeze over. There is snow piled everywhere, and 10″ on the ground, at least. A propylene-glycol loop froze up at our biggest site in the city. And I started on-call at work on the 3rd.
It’s kind of amazing to work night shift in weather like this. Oh, did I mention the 25 MPH winds? Yup. That too.
We had a big solar flare last night that was supposed to pull Aurora Borealis all the way down to Central Illinois, but no luck; it was clouded-over to the North this morning.

May we never have a winter so long, cold and bleak like last year's. It seemed it would never stop! You must get some cold winds blowing off the big lake, Dan.

Not any longer, Ken. We're in California now.
