Blizzard

We've just had the 3rd biggest snowstorm in Chicago's history. Matt's work closed at noon yesterday and was closed today. The city is pretty much shut down - airports, schools, most all businesses, and some major roads are all closed. It takes a LOT of snow to do this…this is Chicago after all.

We woke up this morning to several feet of snow, and it was still coming down hard. Matt shoveled enough for the dogs to get out, and then he tried making it all the way to our garage to get firewood.

His shovel broke half-way there!

Will and I stayed warm inside (notice the snow drifts on the windows)! And I made scones from a gluten-free baking cookbook that I'd been wanting to try. They were delicious! You would never be able to tell they were gluten-free.

It stopped snowing about mid-afternoon and our neighbors started coming out to clear the alleys so we can get our cars out! Cars on the street weren't better off...

Matt went out there to help and took this picture of our trashcans by the garage. He borrowed a shovel from a neighbor so he could shovel out a path in front of our house for the mailman!

All in all it was actually a pretty fun day and nice to have Matt home! I wouldn't want a blizzard every day though!
