Doug:John, I feel your pain. I'm in Maine. Hey, that rhymed.
This weather is starting to get biblical in scope. I'm starting to run out of room to throw the snow on. Of course sometimes it does look pretty.I lived in Chicago during one of these epic blizzards. It started on Friday evening and didn't end until early Sunday morning.
It was sunny that Sunday, and I need to walk a few blocks to the grocery store. Trudging along the street, I nearly tripped over something buried in the snow. It was a car antenna. The antenna was still attached to the car.
Well that photo would definitely have a warming effect for a sizable chunk of the population, even in the winter.
To add to this, that blizzard was followed by frigid cold snap. I'm talking 12 below zero, NOT including wind chill factors. I worked in the Loop (downtown), and my route from the train station took me by the Chicago river, right by the Sears Tower - a natural wind tunnel. It was deadly.I lived in Chicago during one of these epic blizzards. It started on Friday evening and didn't end until early Sunday morning.

The freezing weather turned all that snow into solid ice (which didn't really all melt until May), so transportation was awful. God help you if you were stuck on an El that couldn't move because the third rail had frozen over. Those trains get all their heat from friction.
The headline in the Chicago Sun Times (tabloid style paper) on Monday morning, in three inch bold fonts: "It's 72 degrees in Miami". They sold a lot of issues - half to those wishing to live vicariously, half to those who probably would stomp, shred and burn that headline.
Memories, sorry for the off topic. Now I live in sunny California (currently 70 deg.). I wonder why.
