Supposedly Chicago’s worst on record. Over 2 feet of snow in some areas. They closed Navy Pier and Lakeshore drive, CPS’s first snow day since 1999. Definitely the most snow I have seen in my lifetime. Also, I don’t think I have ever witnessed a thunder-snow. I promised Hazel that the impending snowstorm would be a quiet one, to ease her anxieties as she is scared of thunderstorms (or at least uses them as a stall tactic). I felt terrible when about 9 pm last night I was hearing thunder and seeing lightening along with the inches of snow being dumped from the sky. Thunder-snow, who knew? Needless to say we are snowed in and not going anywhere for a while…
last night around 11pm
This morning around 8am
the back yard, snow almost to the top of the fence
neighbor of the year 5 years running, Joe, snow blowing our sidewalk and driveway
