The Blizzard

Long ago...at the beginning of February...Chicago had a blizzard. It was a big one that involved almost two feet of snow (20.5 inches to be exact). Here are the pictures.
Tyler walked home in the blizzard. He was out near O'Hare for the Covenant's Midwinter Conference and took the train and a bus and still ended up walking from the Lawrence train station home. He was pretty snowcaked when he finally got here.
This was our front door and walkway.
This was the sidewalk heading toward Foster. This was the parking lot just outside our window. Notice the cars at the end that were all the way up past their windshields in a snow drift. This was the trail that we used to get in and out of our apartment for a few days. The main roads (such as Foster) were cleared quite quickly but the side streets (such as Christiana) were blocked for days. The alley way was cleared by the university and was our only way to get from our apartment to Foster for a while. You had to be very careful though because it was only one car wide and had 2 to 3 foot snow drifts on each side. Quite the adventure!!
