Bad weather? Thanks, Mommy NIXLE

And yet another worthless text-message from the McHenry County Sheriff's Department via NIXLE. "MCSO Encourages Community to Prepare for Upcoming Winter Storm, check our website for more Info."

How many drivers on the road read that text message? Guesses, anyone?

Today it's "Get ready for the blizzard".

And then came the e-mail. "Sheriff Keith Nygren would like to remind all residents of McHenry County of several safe driving tips and has provided links to several resources informing residents of building closures and on road conditions."

Think he is in town and ready to direct the impending crisis on the roads of McHenry County? Or is he in Cape Coral and protecting our County by cell phone? Has anyone seen him at work recently? Like, ever since he sold his house in McHenry County on December 3rd?

Is there anyone who needed that information from NIXLE? What did we ever do before NIXLE?
