The first winter storm of the season is always brutal but yesterday’s seemed especially bad. It was BARELY above freezing outside and there were very strong winds. This meant that the snow was really wet and freezing cold and that at times it was hard to walk because of the powerful gusts. I came home soaking wet and left most everything I was wearing and carrying in the front entry.

I live on the blue line, the line that goes ot O’Hare, and on the way home the trains were filled with people with luggage. It will be interesting to see how my flight goes today!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
