Snow Day

January 7th, 2010 · No Comments

So, we got a bit of snow today. There was a lot of hype about it, and I guess the suburbs got more, but only about 3 inches fell in Chicago. Just enough to make it a pain to walk in and get to work.

In the neighborhood it was kind of serene. Even at my train stop.

In the Loop? A bit more hectic. It seemed like less snow but it was dirty snow. Bleh. Cars, people, hectic.

It’s supposed to keep snowing through tomorrow. Hype, hype, hype. The news is going on and on about it. If it’s so bad, how did Dallas’s flight get out on time today? At O’Hare? On United? Usually that combo can’t even depart on time on a sunny day, let alone in the middle of this crazy “blizzard” the news is going on about.

One night after work I became temporarily obsessed with these lights that were on evergreens and coated with fresh snow. I took something like 80+ photos of them. I tried to trim it down to 1-2 favorites, but I have a hard time self editing sometimes so here are my 6 favorites.

“Dibs” is when a person who shovels a parking spot on a public street gets to put some random junk in that spot when their car is not there and then no one else can park there. I don’t know if it’s legal or not, but Daley is on record defending it as a Chicago tradition.

When I lived in Roscoe Village I rarely saw people marking dibs. Probably because a lot of people have garages there. >When I was in the East Ukrainian Village neighborhood I saw dibs more. But, never have I seen it as much as I did this week in Logan Square. The dibs photos above were all taken on the same block in Logan Square. And I only walked down half of the block.

It snowed all day Friday and Saturday. Yesterday we got a bit of break, although I did manage to take a full-body dive into a snowbank by accident. Tonight there is a blizzard watch.. and gee whiz, can’t wait for Thursday and Friday!
