SnowStorm

Chicago is certainly proud of its weather and tremendous storms. I simply think none of them have lived any further north in their lives to capture a larger perspective of what a big storm really is. All week we had the hype concerning the big storm brewing and destined to drive us to a halt. The day of the storm people were leaving work before they even arrived in anticipation of the 'big event'


The lot started thinning as soon as the snow started falling; and continued as the day wound on. By 4pm you can see what was left. I needed to stay late to get a project done; and by the time i left there was alot of snow but easy driving. made it home in normal drive time.

By the time we got around to shovelling they had plowed our streets dried and the 6-8 inches were fluffy and light; so me with the snow blower on the driveway and my partner with the shovel on the walk made an end to it in no time. Snow Storm - pffft.

Side note , though no photo. I had forgotten how bright the white snow makes the night. totally enjoy that.
