The sky in this photo is what Chicago looks like most of the winter. But all the snow is since last night, and it’s still coming down nasty. I had to move the car off the snow route this morning, and took 20 minutes to move it around the corner half a block. I don’t usually see tickets for parking on snow routes, but one could still be towed or — with a foot of sticky snow coming — plowed in.

So expect a wave of slip-slide driving, wet feet, flight cancellations, and further out, a cloud of jackasses on snowmobiles driving through your yard.
