(Hover over the picture for a description)This is not too far from my house here in Chicago. I’m at 4030W/4900S, this was at 5600W/5500S. Thursday’s rush hour was already off to a rocky start with a snowstorm dumping more than an inch per hour, but this compounded things. Hey, you can never say nothing ever happens in Chicago.
