On the way to pick up my son from a sleepover for church, we drove past this

sign near South Elementary School in Crystal Lake.

You will note my just-back-from-a-spring-break-in-Florida son is still wearing shorts.

Some years people have been water skiing by now, so I thought the sign deserved to be memorialized.

When I ran for McHenry County Treasurer in 1966, I remember the last snow came on May 5th. In 1993, there was frost under the leaves in mid-May.
