Some of My Favorite Winter 2013/2014 Pics

This winter was a record-breaking winter--literally!! We saw more subzero days and suffered through more inches of snow than this city has seen in decades...I wish I had more winter pictures, but 1) Unfortunately, most of my pictures were irretrievably deleted by my phone (major sad face) and 2) I was too cold most of the time to pull out my camera and take pictures.  Nevertheless, here are a few that I compiled throughout the season. I think this was the first time I saw a subzero temperature...this was way back in November, I think. Before it was officially winter! My job made sure that our sidewalks were always shoveled (thank you for that!), but that snow began to pile up... A subzero day in Chicago is NO JOKE. Not only is the physical temperature less than zero, but the wind chill will decrease the temperature by another 20- 30 degrees. There's no such thing as being cute in this weather. You're trying to stay alive! Thermals, Ugg boots, hand warm...

Spring Is Finally Here!

Today is the first day of spring. Yay! But as I've discovered, this city doesn't follow the rules of the season. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 60 degrees and I'm STOKED. But then it's getting back down to the 30s for the weekend... This snow/ cold weather has been a bummer, but I was able to capture this gorgeous picture on my way to work on March 12th.... Isn't it GORGEOUS?
