Snowy Darkness
Today Chicago was hit with another sloshy snowstorm during the afternoon and early evening commute. It look several hours for the slush to become white snow cover. The Loop was filled with commuters heading the the train stations. For my images and thoughts, click on the image below.
Wet Slop
Chicago has seen very little snow this winter, so when it snows, it is time to enjoy the city. Chicago's Loop was surprisingly particularly picturesque Sunday afternoon. For my take on my afternoon outing, as well as images, click on the image above.
Snow
Here’s a quick one: Michigan Avenue during Friday night’s snowstorm. It came quick and hard, and ended just as quickly.
WTF
Even for Chicago, today’s snowstorm and cold temperatures were a bit much given that it is November 11th. Some people called moving companies, deciding to head south.
Arrival
Click to enlarge and for commentary.
Before attending Jules Masenet's Don Quichotte opera at the Lyric Opera this afternoon, I took my camera over to Belmont Harbor to commemorate the arrival of Chicago's first snow fall of the 2016-2017 winter. It didn't take the form of flurries. Instead it came down as wet snow that stuck to the grass, leaves, and bricks, but not the sidewalks or streets. When I left the opera at 4:30PM, it was still coming down. It had begun to accumulate on the streets and sidewalks. Mostly slush.
