After blizzard winds and tons of snow, for the first time since 1979, my sons high school as well as the middle school and elementary schools are closed!
My son was saying that the high school has only closed 4 times in the last 100 years. I was able to leave work early yesterday, so I was home by 4:00 p.m. just as it was starting to get bad. We watched all evening as the snow, mostly sideways and wind pelted out windows. As of the news last night 80,000 people in Chicago were without power. That was my worst fear. We are warm and have food, so that is all I need 🙂
This is my steps out my back door. There are about 10 steps, the snow comes all the way to the top!The snow has drifted all the way up to the top of the fence!This is looking out my back yard. I don\’t think people are going to get out of the alley today!Picture from space of the BIG storm of 2011!
So enjoy today if you are home bound and if you live somewhere where it is warm, then consider yourself lucky!
