More blizzard photos from Chicago (warning: scary)

Outside my flat. The sidewalk is shoveled.

Look at this snow!

Somewhere under there is my car

A tower of snow

Bus stop. Nobody's waiting. Good.

Jewel grocery store was open.

Kids sledding on a hill in Schiller Woods (I did that when I was kid. Fun!!)

And someone skiiing too

Near a train station in the Lakeview neighborhood

Many major city streets were plowed and salted.

Most restaurants and stores were closed all day. This Taco Bell was open. Yes!!!

Lots of cars parked on the street are completely covered.

So many cars stuck.

"The Illusionist" is playing at the Music Box movie theater this week.
But the theater was closed for the day.

Woah. Look at those mounds of snow in front of the theater

This was about 6:00 PM (central time). Very few people out on the road.

Car lot --- Anyone want a snow-covered car?

7-11 is open. I asked the guy if he was open all night last night and he said "yes"---but no one came.

Sigh! If you didn't get any snow where you live, you've got it good this week!
