Blizzard 2011

BLLLLLIIIIIZZZZZAAAAAARRRRRRDDDDDDD!



Driving home 2/1/2011, about 3:30 PM







Our kitchen window about 8:00 PM:





Front Porch Drift, 2/2 AM:





Pool Drift:




Me and my bud Eric went joy riding, proof I'll never grow up. On 6th St. we rolled up on a lady whose car was buried bigger than you know what. She rolled down her window and said "I am not a douc--. I was going to the veterinary clinic to tend to some doggies that had surgery yesterday".

I assured her that since she was on a mission of mercy, she was NOT a douc-- but rather a HERO. That made her feel better. Glad to be of service.

We helped push her out. And then I got us stuck in the same spot on our way home. Since we were not saving puppies but rather joy riding, I guess we ARE a douc--,huh?



Rogers Road south of Sandwich




Sandy Bluff Road south of the gas plant. It looked a little dicey, but with a running start, there was no stopping m'Jeep:




Looking back at the road just traveled:




We got stuck on an un-plowed Finnie Road, but I hadn't realized I was in 2WD. I got in 4WD and Eric gave a push and I backed out no problem. Probably a good thing, because had I not gotten stuck, seeing the bottom of the hill that I almost got to, it would have taken a helicopter to rescue us.

Me and my excellent wingman, Eric (squinting due to snow-blindness):





This poor guy drove off the road the night before and was further buried by the snow plow. We tried to help but couldn't get him out.

He's gonna need a bigger tow truck:





Chicago's 3rd worst snow storm all time. We had a blast. Work tomorrow.

And how was your day?
