I’ve spent so much time at the computer this morning working on images; I finally got up to get a coffee refill when Lo, and Behold!…Christmas Day SNOW!!!
Overlooking Sheridan Road
Where the Christmas Tree Lot used to be
The white house on Sherwin Avenue
These ‘empty spaces’ in the parking lot below are already covered, just TEN minutes later!
It’s blowing in off Lake Michigan, and promises some ‘white out’ conditions for drivers!
Perhaps…just perhaps, I’ll go out later and make those ‘snow angels’ I promised!
It’s only 10:15 AM (CST) right now, so there’s a whole day of lovely SNOW ahead,
and I’ll have more images then!!!
UPDATE!
Here’s a screen capture from the Weather Channel, showing my area of Chicago at the time it snowed. This is the only large area of snow on the Illinois map, so those wishes I made…DID come true!
Oh wow, that is so wonderful, so a white Christmas after all. I can’t wait to see more photos.
Too tired to process tonight, so they’ll have to wait…it was only about an inch, and it snowed only about an hour…but it was so curious that it was only here, in the northern neighborhoods of Chicago!
just for you.
;>) !!!
nice to have a white Christmas…ours is wet and windy
It was quite a surprise, smacked! But today, we also have high north winds (they’re battering against my window), and the snow is beiginning to diminish as it’s around 32 degrees F. I truly hope you all DID have a beautiful Christmas Day…and I know we both are looking forward to a glorious (photo-wise, that is!) 2013! Merry New Year, dear friend!
Love it that you got a great surprise when you went to get your coffee! It looks wonderful.
So very pretty…I was really getting ‘down’, not having any snow shots for people to see. There are a few more today!
