Checking in from the Chicago Blizzard....
Permalink  
 


Wow....it's been fun here for the past 24 hours.....Officially we got 21" of snow dumped on us with wind howling over 50mph.  Looking out my window this morning, my jaw dropped.  The snow had drifted at least six feet up our neighbors wall.  Not sure how long it's gonna take to dig out from this one but we Chi-towners take this stuff in stride.  Last night we had nine teens crashing here and this morning the hub and I cooked up 3# of bacon and 40 slices of french toast to feed the crew.  Now they are outside shoveling and snowblowing the neighborhood.  I've got a pot of chili cooking and one of chicken noodle soup.  Hot toddies, anyone?   :)

Anyhooo....We took some pictures and I'm hoping to be able to upload them.  Not sure how to do it on my son's computer so wish me luck.

For everyone else dealing with this weather and/or about too....stay safe and stay warm.
God Bless.  Bonnie

Sounds like you are having fun, White Fay, what's a little bit of snow, eh?

We had snow last night and now today and to continue over night, don't think we will get your accumulation, though.

Stay safe!

the   heel   in  my   shoe   came   off   in    the   snow!
I'm    walking   around   without   a   heel   on   my    shoe,    take   a   good   month   or   more    to   get     a   new   pair,   since   they   have   to   be   made.
I   fll   on    some   black   ice,   and   they   gave   me   Vicodin,   I'll   be   damn   if  I   can    find   the    bottle ,  I   think   someone   swiped   it    out   of   my   apartment,   maybe    that   sounds   paranoid,    but   where   the   hell   did   it   go!

Thanks All.....the way I look at things like this is that they are an adventure.....you make the best of it and do it in a happy way since to do otherwise means you bring upon yourself negativity.   As long as people are safe, warm, healthy and fed, all is well.

Thanks again everyone and hope you get your shoes soon Candi.
