Here are a few pictures of the storm that hit our area on February 1, 2011. We had Thundersnow, never heard it before, with Lightning. Andrea went out that night to start to shovel up the 4 inches that fell the day before, while it was starting to snow. You couldn't tell the next morning, blowing snow, drifts, snowed in cars! We waited till the snow stopped that afternoon to venture out to shovel! What a Blizzard, but if I wanted a blizzard, I would have went to Dairy Queen. We had 20.9 inches at Midway Airport, but the official count came from O'Hare Airport which was 20.2 inches. As we were trying to shovel out the winds were still blowing! We went out twice to get the shoveling done, there was too much snow to finish it all at once and beside that the snow was too heavy! They are calling for more snow on Sunday! Hoping it won't be that much!

Absolutely awesome pix of the storm - you got a lot more than we did, and I LOVE your house. I, too, would love an all brick house! The kid next door is quite talented. I've never seen such pretty snow sculptures! It's snowing here again, and there is quite an accumulation. Ugh!
Wow what great snow pics.
I love the sculptures that your neighbor did.
Your neighbor did an awesome job on those snow sculptures.
What a storm! Those snow sculptures are awesome.
