Day 33

Crazy CRAZY night and day! I blogged about it here at Typical Life of a CFD Wife, but to abbreviate it, we had 18-20 inches of snow with 45 mph winds! We actually had thunder and lightening mixed in.. who's heard of that with snowy blizzards? Iconic Chicago's Lake Shore Drive was shut down completely as 900 people waited for 12 hours! People stuck everywhere, just leaving their cars, made for a very memorable and exciting last 24 hours.

Then, the only photo I could come up with is this one? I know what you're thinking.. but, in my defense, we're snowbound, people! I did help the kids build and dig out an igloo today. I was going to take a photo, but 2.5 hours into it, it caved! So much for the "perfect Chicago Blizzard 2011 photo!" So, here I sit, mulling over the photos I took in my pajamas in the 7 freezing minutes outside this morning.

Hope you are all staying warm and toasty. What was your weather like today?
