During the blizzard I'm thinking a bunch of neighborhood kids got together at the schoolyard and created a giant snowball. This snowball must have been 10 feet high! Well, probably smaller but to a 5 year old it sure did look like it! Anyway, kids were climbing/jumping off it and I wanted to join in but I could not get on top of it. My cousin helped me up and I felt like I was on top of the world! Then the bell rung and kids (including my cousin) lined up to get inside. I looked around and everyone was gone! Stranded and alone on top of King Kong's snowball - I thought I was going to be left alone to freeze! Then my kindergarten teacher came and rescued me. I'm going to ask my mom to see if she has an photos from that blizzard.
Fast forward to February 2011, 20.6 inches ranks 3rd highest in Chicago history! My boys were excited for some Snow Days (I don't remember having those) because they wanted to go and play. They had a great time - here are some of my favorite pictures from the day after the snow came down.
