Chicago Blizzard of 2011 Part 2

We all made it home safely. My walk from the train was HORRIBLE. My hood was blowing off, snow slapping me in the face from every direction, hands numb through my gloves, wind whipping like crazy!

As I sit here and type now I hear the wind whistling through our new and old windows. Its really cold in here! Darn it, this drafty old apartment!! I just put some plastic wrap on our back door because there was a little pile of snow inside the door because it is blowing right through the cracks! AHHH!
I took some photos (through the snowy window of course) just after I got home. Looks like it's going to snow all night. They are still saying we're going to get 15-20 inches. They are saying the winds could create up to 24 foot waves on the lakeshore and Lakeshore Drive is now closed due to blowing snow and high winds (and danger of high waves).
Pics from out the window when I got home at 5:00. Tomorrow morning will be quite a different scene I'm sure!
