Thats what the next few days looks like in Central Illinois. Sounds like there might be some opportunity for knitting at home on Wednesday. The worst part is that it looks like I am going to have to go in to work at least for the morning. From there, I'll play it by ear to see how the weather develops.

Be safe!
