I know it’s springtime in Missouri and Illinois, someone forgot to mention that fact to North Dakota and Minnesota. There is a winter storm warning out calling for up to 19 inches of snow by tonight and the temperature is dropping.
However, that’s not all bad. For the local residents dreading the coming floods, they are getting some respite. The weather is slowing down the flooding conditions. Obviously, this is directly affecting our current Disaster Relief Operation. The director has just announced we will be downsizing. Darn, I thought only the big corporations did that. I’m all for saving the Red Cross donated dollars so I really don’t mind being downsized. However we won’t be able to get out until Thursday because of the storm. I’ll see you soon.
