We are having the strangest weather today. In the past 90 minutes, we've had the heavy snow depicted here, bright sunny blue skies, snow flurries, gloomy gray skies. A good day to be inside packing with junk TV in the background.
This sums up the weird day of weather perfectly! I took the Metra into the city this morning, and after being stuck at Western Avenue due to a vehicle on the tracks, for 30 minutes i decided to leave the train and walk into the city.Totally misjudged the distance, I dare not tell Tim where I walked from and the conversations I had with the homeless huddled under the bridges. That said it bought the stories of those that are stuggling to a more realistic point of view. An eye opening walk!
@ukandie1 You walked from WESTERN?????? OMG! First, totally impressed but second, you are totally crazy! I can't imagine how long it took you to do this, and in today's weather, what a range of weather you must have walked through.
Interesting. I'm reading "Love Anthony" by Lisa Genova at the moment and this morning's section described late March snow storms arriving to darken moods but making the decision to brave it and head out to walk in spite of the conditions.
This shot shows the Chicagoland extreme weather perfectly... waiting until March to dump a load of snow on you guys. Great day to be inside... packing for an upcoming trip, if I recall?? :). Glad you are feeling better, too.
@rosiekerr Ah...that's packing for Thursday (Iceland is almost here!) but this packing is for moving out of the rental condo and back to Bill & Junko's for the night before we leave, to regroup and organize for the trip. A little crazy.
Oh, my goodness! Excellent capture of that swirling snow! After viewing this photo and reading the comments I realize I shouldn't complain about our 50 degree mornings as I have the past couple of days.
Fabulous shot a huge fav. I hope you are cosy and warm inside.
Strange weather here the last couple of days too. Still pretty warm for autumn, (24 C/75 F) but bucketing down with rain one minute and sunshine the next, pretty humid too. fav
Wow that makes me feel cold just to see that shot Taffy! At least you are not tempted out when you have all the packing to do! Hope the move goes smoothly- you are getting too much practice at this!! Safe journey on Thursday and I hope you enjoy Iceland! See you soon! Fav!
Wow, what a storm that blew through. So what is in the forecast for tomorrow? Sounds like a fun trip ahead and hopefully much better weather to leave for Iceland. You are still not in your condo and out of your rental one? So where do you go when you get back? I hope you have a great trip and have a place to call home when you return. What a long ordeal. Enjoy your trip, Taffy. I will have to pop in more often. Sorry, sick and sick and ready to be well. Stomach is bad, on bland food and Endoscopy and Colonoscopy on March 30. Meantime bland foods and meds. Not a good weight loss program at all but finding bland foods to eat. Life is crazy everywhere. 78 degrees here today. Sunny and warm. Safe travels.
Goodness me, that really is wild weather today! I guess that is the nature of storms. One minute fine, the next completely crazy. Love the picture, really sums that up.
Hope you're feeling much better now?
@alyssakmac It looked a lot worse that it was. The squalls lasted a few minutes here and there but fortunately, not much accumulation. But at least when they did happen, the squalls made for a more dramatic image!
I hope it clears up soon.
Great photo though :)
