We're having some snow this evening, and it's really got the rush hour traffic snarled. When I heard on the radio it was 3 hours and 20 minutes from the Loop to O'Hare (about 40 minutes when traffic is good), I had to grab my little Canon G9 and take some pictures. If you fire the flash, you get the local snowflakes.
If you don't fire the flash, you get a better look at things a half mile away.
This is the kind of traffic that makes people who take the "L" feel very superior. Unless they have to catch a bus when they get off the train.
Because, by golly, it's snowing on the local streets, too.
As you can see, it doesn't take much snow to cause a lot of trouble in Chicago. The traffic on the Eisenhower from the Loop to Illinois Route 53 - usually less than an hour - is 5 hours right now. I think we'll just cuddle up with a movie and hope our neighbor is feeling magnanimous with his new snow blower.
