Snow Storm 2011

It started at about 3 PM on Tuesday, right in time for rush hour - not so fun - and continued until about 11 AM Wednesday - so fun.

Snow, snow, snow, peaceful wind blowing full fledged snow!

The third "worst" snow storm on record in Chicago - IT WAS WONDERFUL!!!

The next morning cars were buried . . .

and buried.

Even the beautiful beast - buried a few hours before this picture - well done Dad.

The streets were free to roam . . .

and the neighborhood was out shoveling . . .

shoveling . . .

and shoveling.

With a little surfing between.

This block of people didn't wait for the city plows, they took the bulls by the horn and shoveled it out themselves - I love that!!!!

After a building shoveling-arama, it was to the pool for margaritas and warmth.

The next day, I walked a block east to this main thoroughfare. It was like another world. Cars were in use, not buried under snow or shoveled free but for what - the side streets were still under 20 inches.
