Happy Groundhog's Day and Happy Blizzard! What a way to start of the month of February. The snow finally stopped and we faced a mountain of white stuff everywhere we turned. After shoveling the front steps, front walk, and three flights of back stairs, there was NO way we were going to tackle Deb's car in the parking lot. The lot had around a foot or two of snow, so even after removing the snow from the car...we weren't going anywhere fast. Then we opened our garage door to see if we could get MY car out and discovered another mountain! Did I mention that they don't plow alleys in Chicago....so again, even if we could have backed out...we wouldn't have gotten very far down the alley. With the way the wind blew, it really was the luck of the draw as to which cars were buried. Check out the cars across the street. They were the lucky ones, whereas the ones nearest to our lot were buried.

I gotta tell you...that snow is mighty heavy and my back is paying the price tonight. Not sure if we'll make it to work again tomorrow since we have no way to drive there, and I'm not sure I can make the long trek through the drifts to a train station. Long trek?I can hardly stand! Oy, I'm gettin' old!
