Snow coming. Break that record!

We are at 71 straight days with at least 1" of snow on the ground. I don't think we will melt it before we get this new batch of snow, so the streak continues!

I just went outside for the first time today, very busy so didn't get a chance to enjoy what everyone was talking about. I do have a big office window, so I could see.

When I stepped outside I thought my myself wow, it's still kind of cold. And there is a 12 foot high pile of grey snow piled up over there.

Sorry, you can tell me the glass is half full all you want, but when it's really 3/4 empty I'm going to tell it like it is whether you like it or not. Sorry to burst your bubble Chicago people, but this really isn't a very nice day at all. Just because it sucks infinitely less than the last 50 doesn't make it good.

3 inches for us. Which is quite the stark contrast to the 73 degrees we will get today.

They have upped it - 4-7" plus another 1" tomorrow. Ridiculous.

At least enough melted that my piles are only about 3' high, so I have a little room to move the new stuff to.
