I used to live in Chicago. It's a beautiful city but I don't miss it too much. Where I live now (south Florida) it will be 82 degrees today.

What the heck is this post doing here?


Blizzard of 2011: 5th snowiest and counting

Following are the five top winter storms to hit Chicago:

1. 23.0 inches on Jan. 26-27, 1967

2. 21.6 inches on Jan .1-3, 1999

3. 19.2 inches on March 25-26, 1930

4. 18.8 inches Jan 13-14, 1979

5. 17.3 inches Feb. 1-2, 2011 (and counting)


I remember the 1967, 1979, and 1999 snowstorms.

In 1967 my high school was closed for a few days.

In 1979 my car was trapped in an alley for one month.

In 1999 my long commute to work got even longer because for two weeks I had to take a bus instead of a train (the storm damaged the tracks).
