Athens of America

After having endured 4 major storms in 3 and half weeks (7 and a half feet- more than Chicago has ever had in an entire winter) interspersed with single/subzero temperatures, I have to admit I am proud to work in a city where the mayor is compelled to warn the citizens "it's probably not a good idea" to jump out of second story windows into the snow (apparently there are Youtube videos out there) .    He alerted us to the danger of upside-down  icicles and to "just think what that might mean."

Hunkering down.   I am getting really sick of local storm coverage.  Happy Presidents Day.
