Snow.

As is obvious to anyone around here, in good ol' Chicago, there has been a bunch of snowfall. I spent 2 1/2 hours shoveling out half my driveway along with my parents to get our car out. The snowdrifts were pretty high and it was a challenge just to get to my garage through the snowed up driveway. But there is one fact that everyone here has to keep in mind: if the weather was nice year-round, everyone would want to live here.
And two snow days in a row is definitely worth this price. Here are a few pictures I took around my house of the snow, just for kicks. (Low resolution 640x480 so they load fast)
