Chicago Blizzard 2011

We got about 20"inches in front of the house.  We are still snowed in.  The streets still haven't been cleared to driveable conditions.  (Thank goodness our car is safely stowed in the garage!)

This is what it looks like on our street in front of our house after being cleared:
This is what it looks like in front of our door.  Warning: Do not look to closely at my face. (Please note at nearly 30 weeks pregnant...I am looking ROUGH! Those bags under my eyes are due to stress and no sleep)
Jagger playing in the street...

and on top of a VERY large snowball.

We weren't able to play too long.  It was COLD outside to boot!  (Note the enjoyment on Jag's face!)

And this is off the news, but amazing.  Lake Shore Drive is always bumper to bumper traffic.  The traffic was congested, the snow coming down hard...and this is the result.  (The drivers were stranded for 8 hours before rescued and the cars are still stranded and trying to clear the roadway!)

PS
I lost our camera before Christmas and can not find it anywhere.  These are off our phone.  But between packing, cleaning, and moving in the next few weeks...please have no expectations of posts on here, for awhile!
