How Many Shovels Does It Take...
...to clean off a Chicago sidewalk in a snowstorm? Just one. However, you'll have to go out and use it three times.
Seriously, it's just crazy with snow here today. I was out at 6 pm, then J went outside to clear a small path for the dog (just beyond the ramp) and now I'm about to head out again for a final pass at things before bed.
The good news is that this is wonderful snow that's light and fluffy. It's beautiful outside.
In a few days, it will be all dirt and sludge around the city, but these are the fun nights when the snowflakes twinkle in the street lamps and you talk to your neighbors more because you're all out enjoying the first good shoveling of the season.
It won't seem nearly this romantic by late February.

Yeah, moving to Cleveland after almost a decade in DC has given me a new appreciation for snow and cold. Yes, it's more work to get ready to go out--especially with a little one--but it's so much better than being in a place that doesn't get much snow!

we got some snow last week and the only snow that's left is the snowforts the kids made in the park! although there's much more snow the further up in elevation you go around here... can't wait to bring out the snowboards!
