There are a few blizzards that I like. The tasty frozen drink, for instance, or the company that makes sadistically addictive MMOs. I do NOT, however, enjoy the kinds of blizzards that shut down Chicago for 2 days and strand me at home.
(Obviously, this hasn't happened yet, as I'm at school using the internet, but it will.)
The word on everyone's lips the past few days has been this storm. Last night, as I went from class to Walgreens to stock up on some very important blizzard rations (chips.. mac&cheese..sandwiches..), the snow was starting to fall. It was just barely sticking, but the wind threw it like icicles into my eyes, while blowing graceful swirls and curlicues around my feet. Not fair, wind, not fair.
By the time I got home it was close to an inch thick.
It's not snowing right now, but the big momma is supposed to hit tonight. Most things are closing early today, and won't be open tomorrow. The last time the CTA stopped running was back in '79..
"I like how we've been through a hurricane and a blizzard in the past 2 months." Emily says.
