Glad This Crap Is Over

Blizz-aster 2011 happened in February up here in Illinois.  While it was cool, it was also a tad scary for one Mr Doust trying to drive home in it late that afternoon.  He almost got stuck on Lakeshore Drive, that one road where a million cars were abandoned because a bus jackknifed from the blowing and accumulating snow.  Here are some pics down our street, and the last I stole off the internet (Lakeshore Drive).

If you dig out your car from street parking, I guess the rule around here is you get to keep your spot.  So there were some very random and ugly "spot savers."

Our vehicle on the right.  She was cold!!
