- 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.
- So pretty. I miss this.
- The Bean, formally known as Cloudgate. I can't imagine having to clean the fingerprints off of it.
- Oh man, did WE need coffee New Year's Day!
- Mom and I caught a very early flight to Chicago on New Year's Eve.
- I was fascinated to see a cutoff oxbow river bend. I've heard of them but never seen one.
- And here we are with the Bean as a backdrop. It's seriously awesome, which you really can't tell from these pictures.
- My street, snowed over.
- Where did the cars go?!
- Snow is so *quiet* when it falls.
- This is Salvation Army's "officer training" campus. It's a freakin' awesome old house that sprawls out over at least an acre.
- My neighborhood under snow.
- 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!
- Well done, thou good and faithful snow boot.
- I saw this cheap trunk at Home Goods and wanted it for a coffee table, but couldn't transport it home. The next day, after work, I went back to measure it and see about shipping. And I decided just to strongarm it back on the bus. When Mom called to ask if I'd found out about the cost, I said, "Oh, yeah, shipping is free." Just a little sweat!
- Trib Tower, look particularly Gotham-esque.
- Marilyn looks cold.
- The Water Tower, one of the few buildings that survived the Great Chicago Fire.
- I took this picture for Mom. This bar isn't far from my apartment, and we ate several dinners there in September when I moved out. It sure looked different five months later!
- Mom and I take the obligatory "hey, it's us in the Bean!" photo.
- Snow falling toward one of my neighbors' ornamental lawn lights.
