Last night we were supposed to get between 5 and 7 inches of snow. Well, we got at least 10. That was on top of about 5 inches we got Tuesday, and we are supposed to get more tomorrow. This morning was my nephews' final adoption hearing, which I of course still wanted to attend. I could barely get the front door of my apartment building shoved open, and walked in snow over my knees up the block so my sister and brother in law could pick me up on the main road, which a plow had been down. It was hairy, and we had a close call with a semi trailer, but we made it there and back unharmed. Its almost 2 in the afternoon and a snow plow has been down one side of my street, but not the other, and no one has cleared our parking lot, so I couldn't go anywhere if I wanted to. It was hard to get any pictures that really showed the depth of the snow because it blew so hard, its 3 feet deep in some places, and only a few inches in others, and I wasn't about to trek back outside to get a good shot. Below is a bush that is about 3 feet tall completely drifted over. I am SOOO sick of the snow.

I think you got all of Chicago's snow. We just got ice instead.
I'm in Michigan and we got about the same amount... we can barely get out of our driveways! :(
Happy Holidays!
I'm NW of Chicago and we got about 8 inches, but you beat us by a long shot. My son lives in Telluride, Colorado and they are taking a beating as well, but it's a ski town so they love it.
I love it if I don't have to go out in it!
we have snow and ice and more snow :-)
BTW, tag, you're it! If you'd like to play, see my blog for details
