Snowmageddon 2014, Part 2

For the second time in under a week, Chicago got hit with a snowstorm--more than 20" since the first of the year. And now? Temperatures well below zero. All this after tornadoes in November.

Whatever we did to piss you off so much, Mother Nature, we're sorry. Really, truly sorry.

Snowmageddon 2014

OK, so this wasn't an all-out blizzard like, say, Snowmegeddon 2011, but it is the most snow we've gotten at one time in nearly two years, and the forecast is for another six inches of snow tomorrow night/Sunday morning, followed by deep, bitter cold--as in not reaching zero for a high temperature either Monday or Tuesday.

Even as the faux-Bavarian village around it is being dismantled, the city tree still lights the way into a bright and shiny New Year.
