Frost was widespread Sunday morning and scattered across the area but less widespread Monday, on the precipice of a move into a substantially milder weather for the closing days of October, 2007. These beautiful shots, capture a morning mist rising in the chilly morning air above Willow Pond in Prospect Heights as well as widespread frost evident on grassy surfaces as well as the roof of the home pictured here. The current state of the area's striking fall colors (as of Oct. 28-29) and evidence of the region's annual geese migration is also quite evident. This area's fall colors are at or are just beyond their peak across northern Illinois into northwest Indiana. The photos come to us from Jay Kleeman who has been generous in sharing his spectacular photos of so many area weather events over the years with us. MANY thanks Jay!
