Digging Out
8 AM February 14
A gusty winter storm dumped several inches of snow on the Chicago area. Over 9 inches fell, but it's difficult to tell how much actually accumulated because the winds blew the snow into deep drifts.
After a four day weekend celebrating Lincoln's birthday, the local schools were closed Tuesday and Wednesday making it a six day weekend.
As of 9:30 AM, it's still snowing even though the sun is shining!
Cupid is going to need a shovel!

This reminds Me of the Chicago blizzard of 1979, but still not quiete. I had drivers education that winter, and can still remember those 6 to 7 foot snowbanks on the drivers training course in back of the school.
There was enough snow being dumped from city dumptrucks on the schools athletic field to open a ski resort with. I used to climb those 20 foot piles after school.
Thank You.

This picture reminds Me of the Chicago blizzard of 1979, but still not quiete. I had My Drivers Education class that winter at Curie High School, and can still recall those 6 foot snowbanks along the drivers training course in the back of the school. There was enough snow being dumped on Curie's athletic field by city contracted dump trucks to open a ski resort. I used to climb those 2 story or more snow mountains after school.
Thank You.
