Like most of the country we have been experiencing extreme weather. For those of you in Denver this is not normal for Chicago. In fact, there have only been 5 storms with snow accumulation over 16" in 126 years of weather records. There have been reports of up to 22" of snow in some of the suburbs. It sounds like we probably got around 16" here last night. I have no clue how they were be able to measure it considering wind gusts reached 70 mph. Here's a video of what it looked like. The video doesn't really do it justice.
When we woke up this morning the snow had stopped and the wind had died down. Chloe loves the snow... I think she is part rabbit.
It started coming down again right as we headed back inside and it's been going strong ever since. It's accumulating on the rooftops since the wind is not blowing as hard today.
(We probably have got about another 2-3" since this photo was taken.)
I'll keep you posted on the final snow tallies. Tom's working from home today so we are both safe and sound :)
Wow... just wow... thanks for the videos and the updates!
