It's been three days and I haven't seen the outside world in what feels like forever. Chicago experienced the third worst snowstorm it's had since the 60's. On thuesday night we got pounded by over 20 inches of snow and experienced a thunder and lightening storm in the middle of the icy flakes falling to the ground.
My school got cancelled both Tuesday and Thursday and nearly everyone had a snowday off work on Wednesdsay. I remember the snow storms in Oregon and how they would close the schools for a mere 2-4 inches and if it ever got much below 30 degreese it was basically deemed the next "ice age." Going from the northwest to the midwest winters is a huge shock and a reality check with how calm the northwest can be.
Tonight i get to shovel my car out of the icy snow that by now is about two feet deep in it. Hopefully it hasn't frozen too badly! The roads are now mostly clear although many people are still taking the train and bus for precationary measures. I got a horrible head cold coming home from Oregon and being stuck inside hasn't been the best cure. I have been blowing my nose every few minutes and know that another good day of rest and some good medication will do me some good. Now that the storm has past i can venture out into the slightly brisk negative 2 degree weather! Wish me luck
