If this morning is any indication of how our tax dollars are being spent here in the 312, it’s going to be a long winter of slick slippery roads. It’s like they didn’t even try to work the roads, haven’t seen a single plow yet.
what a city!
Haven’t had this kind of feel to a day(s) before January in many many years it feels like. Coming down at a nice wintry clip here in IKK with a bit of wind.
GHD 1. Was living at the time about 11 miles due south of MDW and I feel like that was pretty much the epicenter of the beast. We had a roaring fire going before the storm started. Two cases of beer out on the back deck. And a couple of shovels
As the storm started cranking up people came on down to hang by the fire and drink. We had legit thundersnow that got a reaction from everyone.
I lived in a cul-de-sac and it was always plowed last so the whole block as just outside having a blast, marveling at the intensity of the storm. Went to bed and woke up to find that it looked like I had never shoveled at all. Drifts up over car hoods and kids playing in the street
Good times
Worst stretch of weather for our area that I can remember. Started a couple weeks before April 1st as well. I had two weeks off between jobs in late March and it was miserable then too. I remember being bummed having time off and the weather being so trash. Close to 8 weeks straight of cold rain and raw weather
Fwiw that’s how I see it as well. Winter to summer happens all at once lately and same with summer to winter. Two seasons, winter and summer, both last about 6 months now
