My first major snowfall (and the only one I really faced this year). I sure wouldn't want to drive in this! But I did learn that it takes a hell of a lot to shut this city down.
Marilyn looks cold.
Snow falling toward one of my neighbors' ornamental lawn lights.
Trib Tower, look particularly Gotham-esque.
Icicles on a church in my neighborhood.
The Hancock Building on a sunny (FRIGID) day.
The amphitheater at Millennium Park. Supposedly they have great summer concerts here. It was a little cold in January to imagine summer!
So pretty. I miss this.
Mom and I caught a very early flight to Chicago on New Year's Eve.
'Cause I never get tired of mountains.
And here we are with the Bean as a backdrop. It's seriously awesome, which you really can't tell from these pictures.
Flying from Fresno back to Chicago on New Year's Eve. It was beautiful.
My street, snowed over.
The Bean, formally known as Cloudgate. I can't imagine having to clean the fingerprints off of it.
The Water Tower, one of the few buildings that survived the Great Chicago Fire.
I was pretty impressed with this snowfall until the one that hit later in January. The second one shut a bunch of busses down. But the first one sure was pretty!
Where did the cars go?!

Stolen from my Path account, I love this filtering.
This is Salvation Army's "officer training" campus. It's a freakin' awesome old house that sprawls out over at least an acre.
Mom and I ready to go out for New Year's partying!
