Think of what's going on with cicadas just to the east of the Rockford area as a sort of precursor to what we're going to be going through in three short years.
It looks like Rockford and the rest of Northern Illinois will be spared from a huge onslaught of cicadas this year, but we're due for a huge visit in 2024.
This is the moment I start having nightmares about the Spring of 2021. There's almost nothing I fear more than snakes, except for deadly poisonous ones.
