This morning on the Weather Channel there was a picture of the corn crop in Dunlap, IL, and a small piece about how the crops in Illinois are damaged due to cold weather. What's going on?

It's been quite a trial for the farmers this fall as the weather has kept them from harvesting their crops. Hopefully that will soon change. The scare of the 5 year old lost in the corn field, puts life in perspective, however.
We continue to get rain every few days after a late planting season in the Spring. Yields in Illinois will be better than most expected IF they can finally get into the fields in the next few weeks, especially without any heavy freeze in the meantime. BTW, is the Southeast draught finally over? Lakes filled up finally? Flooding in Georgia and the Carolinas? What's the latest?
The drought was over last spring, then reappeared in a more mild form over the summer, and now is gone again.
It is lovely to see Lake Hartwell (huge lake that is the boundary between SC and GA, about 3 miles from our house) full again. It was down so low a year ago that it was painful to look at. If the levels go down now, it's because they're generating too much power by moving too much water downstream to the next lake.
