Well, we have so far survived the 3rd worst storm in Chicago’s history!! Our area got about 18-20 inches, which, as you can see, comes up to about EC’s waist! The snow piles are humongous and nearly impossible to see around. But, at least we were not trying to settle into our rental house during the middle of it all. Small favors!
Ellen Claire and Will had fun playing in it the next day. It had warmed up to a balmy 7 degrees by the time we went out in the afternoon. Beats the –10 air temp it had been that morning! We had 2 snow days—unheard of up here where our new superintendent is from Minnesota. We baked a small turkey breast, made a snow feast and ate our way through the snow!
Oh well! At least we will appreciate Florida’s winter next year. I imagine there will be no one in FL who appreciates it more than we will!
