The Chicago Blizzard
Last night before I went to bed I decided to record what it looked like outside. When I woke up this morning it was clear and no snow was falling, but by the time I came back up from my workout it was a blizzard again. Up until this morning my CSA and Co-Op were telling me I would need to drive out and pick up my deliveries tonight! They have since changed their mind and I’m going to go pick things up tomorrow.
Too bad T1 is so young that he doesn’t care about the snow. It would be fun to take him out to build a fort after the wind dies down!

woah. I was watching the news and it showed chicago and all the snow you got. Stay safe and stay warm. It’s still coming down where I am.
1Your world turned black and white it seems. I hope you take a picture of the snow when the sun is up too
2I’m not a big fan of snow… unless I’m on vacation at a ski resort. Any other time, while it is pretty, it makes life kind of difficult.
3wow, crazy!!
4In northern california, where it’s normally rainy every day this time of year, it’s 65 and sunny. It’s pretty weird to see all that snow! I know it can be dangerous, but it’s certainly nice to cozy up to the people you love during cold weather
That looks so magical! Kind of like a scene from Harry Potter. (Inner geek showing…)
I hope you stayed inside… we tried to walk down by the lake because Sunday was loving it, but the winds almost knocked me over. There were cars abandoned on Lake Shore (Sheridan) at the end of our street!
5That was really neat. I heard about the snow all over the US on the news. Stay warm!

Here it is mentioned on a Dutch Belgian channel. A shout out to Chicago as well
It’s coming down hard here too in coastal Maine. We’re going to leave work and head home soon and I am not looking forward to driving in it at all! It does make for beautiful scenery though, it’s like driving through a post card!
7that scene during the first 10 seconds or so, along with the intro to the song is just perfect! i love snow… thank you for reminding me.
8That was neat to see. Thanks for sharing. Isn’t it 2011 though?

How embarassing?!?! Oh well. I’ll just have to remember and correct it in my head whenever I watch it in the future.
I love it! Derby is so happy…we’ve been out a few times today & she is frolicking around like a happy-go-lucky pup should be!
10That’s pretty impressive! It’s times like that when I’m really glad to be able to curl up under a blanket and stay inside.
11Stay safe and enjoy it if you can!
12How neat! I cant say Dallas is much better right now, though!
13Wow! That must be really fun to watch it from where you live. We don’t have any snow…yet, but it still might happen! It dropped 40-50 degrees in one day, so you never know.
14Gorgeous! This weather is just crazy… Glad you guys are warm and safe
15We had about a foot of snow in KC (20 inches at my parents’ house). Shoveling snow is great exercise if I have to help with it anyway.
16Wow!! That looks just ridiculous!! I’m glad y’all are safe! Does TH have classes??

Not today, and he came home early yesterday
Yikes! Do I really have to move to the midwest in 6 months?? I’m really going to die in our first Ohio snowstorm. I’m from AZ and more recently from So California. I don’t understand temperatures less than 65 degrees. Hope you stay warm and safe!!
18Neat video! I was wondering if you were going to talk about the blizzard. They mentioned Chicago this morning in the weather forecast.
19Wow - what a crazy storm! Glad you guys are safe! Stay warm!!!!
20For once in my life the snow seemed to have magically bypassed Minnesota.
21This is what it was supposed to look like in Boston all day. But the temp went up around 10 this morning and instead we got a day of rain to slush up yesterday’s day of snow. Then we got some hail. Wonder what tomorrow will be like …
22Wow! I LOVE Regina Spektor and LOVE that you used that song
23That video is completely gorgeous and the song is so completely perfect for it. You are such an artist!
24The world really is having crazy weather lately! Im in Brisbane, Queensland, and we had devastating floods last month and this month Cairns has had a huge Cyclone. Weird… and scary.
25I had heard that it was all a little crazy over there.
26Just a wee reminder for you - you may want to call your video Chicago Blizzard 2011 not 2010
Looks like it would have been a snow-in in Dallas for you too - the schools there have been closed for three days! I feel like the city of Chicago will be able to handle the aftermath much better though. Hope you settled in with plenty of food & provisions! Thank goodnes for Netflix.
27Beautiful video-
