It's snowing pretty nicely outside...the grass is completely covered and it should only get more covered by dawn.

Babydoll said:I am the one with the worst winter prolly! Over the past week, it's been -20f, -23f, -26f, -28f and this morning was a record -30F. I didn't go to class this morn coz when I woke up at 6:30, I couldn't see for the heavy snow and blowing wind. When we get up in the morning, the water in our glasses has little ice chunks in it. We do have a heater but it only goes up to 65F. So yeah.... winter sucks.

I still haven't experienced a truly bad midwest winter since I've been here, but I have been exposed to one silly thing that I wasn't aware of before---people putting out chairs...lawn chairs, folding chairs, even dining room ones next to the curb to "reserve" their parking spaces for later on if they need to move their car. that was by far the funniest thing I've seen. I've been told by others that this happens in other cities as well.

But in Chicago we do it better than anyone else. The official name is "dibs". Even Mayor Daley bows to the inevitable and supports the dibs system.
