Well, the “big overnight snowstorm” didn’t leave much snow in my neck of the woods.
No snow on the streets. Whoo-hoo!!! Just a little frosting of snow to make it the perfect day
to kick-off your holiday shopping at my Holiday Home Show!!!

1353 West Rosemont #3, Chicago IL 60660
Today & tomorrow from 10:00am-6:00pm.

Clear & cold. The sky was clear of clouds, just crisp & orange.

The ground was cold, and the first real frost we’ve had by the Lake. The frost covered leaves are always beautiful to see… but I’m not quite ready to give in to the cold.

Windy. Cold. Dark.
Yet still splashin’ good fun along the lakefront… until you get wet.

The first signs of Winter snow fencing have appeared along the lakefront bike trail. It was dark ride this morning… and even “darker” knowing that the fencing will go up soon and cold Winter weather won’t be too far behind! Ugh.

Beautiful blue clouds with white clouds as I’m driving out to the suburbs today.
A precursor of the sunset to come…

Dark & windy. Moody. Huge clouds floating over the City. It was pretty cool how it was still dark out, but the clouds were illuminated by the lights of the City.

And then there was the North Avenue Beach Boathouse… take a quick look at that flag!!!

Cool enough… but then we also had incredible waves splashing over the shoreline.

Sure, the sunrise was pretty amazing… but the clouds themselves weren’t too shabby either!!!

It was a misty & foggy morning today. Silent & serene. A relaxing ride to work out some of the kinks & stiffness after this past weekend’s Triple Triathlon.

Lots of clouds this morning. A blanket covering the city.

By the end of my ride, the blanket of clouds was passing through. You could literally see the “edge” of the stormfront as it left leaving blue skies in its wake.

Looking to the North…

Looking to the South…

And the middle section. Blue skies & white clouds… wafting above the layer of darkness.
You know how on the evening news the weatherman presents the map with a bold dashed line showing you where the edge of the storm mass is?… well, this morning I think I actually saw that dashed line up in the sky!!!

Okay, so to see the real perspective of the crazy “column” of clouds…
here’s a couple panorama shots that shows it much better!
