Ruthieki:
We are all so broken.
Ruthieki:
Neighbors are out shoveling their sidewalks and clearing their driveways... all the way to the unplowed street.
Ruthieki:
Wintry puddles.
Ruthieki:
Puddles on the sidewalks, walking South on Blackstone.
Ruthieki:
Harper Foods is open, and I saw several people coming out of there with bulging grocery bags.
Ruthieki:
Most businesses along 57th Street were closed.
Ruthieki:
Snow under the tracks.
Ruthieki:
It's already getting sloppy. This will be interesting when the temperatures drop to below zero tonight as forcasted.
Ruthieki:
Skiing.
Ruthieki:
Lake Shore Drive at 57th Street.
Ruthieki:
Lots of people frolicking on mostly-deserted Lake Shore Drive.
Ruthieki:
Moments later, the SUV was backing up in the single lane. The taxi managed to squeeze by him, turn around, and drive south in the northbound lane.
Ruthieki:
An SUV and a taxi headed North on Lake Shore Drive (and some people just strolling in the road).
Ruthieki:
Pretty sky.
Ruthieki:
More pretty sky.

You make me happyyyyyy when skies are bluuuuue.

Blue skies at the point!

Looking North at Promontory Point. That tiny figure is a photographer with a tripod.

Looking South along the lakefront.
Ruthieki:
Tons of people running around on the lake.
Ruthieki:
The guy was biking, but it wasn't going well. I saw him pushing his bike a few minutes later.
Ruthieki:
Walking onto Lake Shore Drive via the on ramp. Notice the sun is out!
Ruthieki:
There were a lot of people out around 4 pm, walking right in the street because there was hardly any traffic.
Ruthieki:
Lots of tracks.
Ruthieki:
Looking East.
Ruthieki:
Cornell Ave is plowed, but only wide enough for one car. If two cars meet going opposite directions, one of them has to back up to the nearest intersection.
Ruthieki:
Folks skiing across Stony Island Ave.
Ruthieki:
The cutest igloo!
Ruthieki:
Looking out from just inside the front door to my building.
