Enough snow today that even the Chicago Cubs Home Opening Day had to be postponed until tomorrow! Sure, it may be a bit warmer & drier for everyone… but I was kinda looking forward to watching players literally SLIDING into Home Plate… and continue sliding into a snow bank! C’mon, this coulda been hysterically fun to watch!!!

Really?… again? Another snowy Spring day in Chicago…
at least it made for a serene morning in Wicker Park.

Bit of a chill in the air this morning… and on my windshield.

Kinda makes me wish my gas fireplace burned actual wood?!

Another chilly day here in the City as buildings are spewing ice everywhere you look!
Beautiful stalactites of ice!!!

Warmer than yesterday with just a few clouds on the horizon. We’re thawed and a lot drier… making it also “safer” for early morning pedaling. So great to squeeze in a sunrise ride in January!!!

With a bit of a wind, this morning was easy, breezy, beautiful…
oh wait, that’s someone else?!!!

A beautifully warm & rainy day… perfect for a working weekend get-away to New York City.
Gray & gloomy… yet nothing but blue skies above the clouds.
Fun times… and my first time flying First Class!

A chilly, but beautiful, afternoon for a serene winter stroll along a semi-frozen creek on my way out to another family holiday gathering. Plenty of blue sky and quietly trickling water.
