Yes it's the suburbs of Chicago. The photos were from pretty far out as it's 45 minutes from my home and that is almost all highway driving.

Your parents have probably felt a lot of the same oddness we did. It was warm and really dry for the most part, then we just got crushed the last month of winter. Personally I'd rather a normal spread out amount of winter...the cold and snow coming over a period of a couple months vs extreme weather over a short time.

Honestly I had been debating selling it for a while, but wasn't sure exactly where it was. A giveaway from @o07 made me think about it. So it worked out perfect as it paid for the new pump and will replace a few small items that were on the floor. Seriously it was like leaving $250 sitting in a box and never using it.
