Snow-ma-geddon Part II

I took this video today on the lake, east of LSD in Lincoln Park. 

Snow-ma-geddon!!

So usually there is a lot of "hype" around snow storms in Chicago.  This storm was no joke.  I was a junior in high school during the storm of 99, and I remember shoveling all that snow.  That, and taking 7 hours to drive home on the Edens back in 2008 made me realize, "go home early..and take the train!!!".  I got home on the bus around 4pm, and it was white out conditions and wind gusts from 50-70mph. 

I took out Bella, and saw a woman get blown down the street.  Then another woman..and another. 

Then LSD, just east of my apt, got shut down.  You can read about it here

I will probably take some of my own pictures once the drama outside dies down.  The wind is so bad I just go out to take the pup out to do her thing, and go right back in.

Snow-ma-geddon?!

So not too excited about what the weather folks are saying.  18 inches of snow from tomorrow afternoon into Wednesday.  I hope I get the day off Wednesday, because a 35 mile commute to work in that mess..is..well..just silly. 

Off to buy a new pair of snow boots today!!
