Chicago area snow Just about everything is shut down. I am guessing we have 2 feet or more. It is up to the bottom of the mailbox, and only 2-21/2 feet of the 5 foot fence is showing. Lots of drifting. Still snowing, maybe 5+ inches yet, and still real windy. Going down to -10 to -15 tonight.
We had to go and shovel a path for the dogs out of the side door. It was almost up to my waist. Cars stranded in Downtown Chicago. Nothing moving, several train lines on a limited schedule. I have no seen one car going down Quentin Road. Airports are shut, and who knows when they will plow our street. Big thing will be where to put all of this snow.
Will continue until 3 pm. I am only going to shovel one path on the 3- Car driveway to get the SUV out. Today is the day I wish I had my big snow blower working.
We have food for humans and Dogs, heat (so far) shovels, and each other! It could be worse! |
