Chicago Blizzard-Burrr!

Yes, there's a blizzard going on here!  Although we live in the 'burbs it's bad enough that Chicago Public Schools closed today for the first time since 1999-about 12 years!  The amount of snow is not huge-but the blowing and drifting makes it really bad.  Yesterday when driving home from work (normally a 1/2 hour trip) it was nearly an hour and 45 minutes to get here.  It is still snowing and so far we have gotten about 12 inches in our neighborhood; they say it will be snowing all morning and throughout the day. 

Here's a picture of Drew as he and Greg have started to clear our sidewalk.  Big Thanks to my hubby for taking these pictures for me!

Hopefully I can spend some time stamping today-Woo Hooo!
I had to add this one too, Ryan took this from his room out the window.  Greg is snowblowing the driveway and the blob to his left behind the tree is our mailbox!
