Done for the Day

The shovelers probably just decided to call it a day and get somewhere warm. Since the sidewalk was cleared, I'd say it was a well-earned rest.

Flattened

Be careful out there. These poor guys got flattened while they were trying to warn others about the falling ice and snow.

Blizzard of 2011, Part III

A few more photos from the Blizzard of 2011 ... Snowlapalooza ... Snowmaggedon ... Snowpocalypse ... The Monster Storm ...


This one's not going anywhere anytime soon

This is Golf.
Really?!?
Well, maybe if you have those fluorescent golfballs.


Where the extra snow belongs: In the Dumpster


STOP Already ...
with these darn Blizzard Photos
(although I do wonder where the sign pole went
... Did it blow away to Michigan?)


OK. New Day! New Subject!
(Well, a few more Snowmaggedon photos may show up.
It IS going to take awhile for this stuff to melt)

National Wear Red Day

Today is National Wear Red Day. Organized by The American Heart Association, National Wear Red Day aims to raise awareness of women's heart disease.

This cardinal wears red everyday and seems to be enjoying a good diet of fruit and grains.

Snowpocalypse, Part 1

Early on in the Blizzard of 2011, we had a Snow-nado ...


... and the traffic started getting heavy on Lake Snow Drive.

Later, a series of accidents on Lake Shore Drive between Belmont and North Avenue caused some looooonnnnng back-ups and ...

... Lake Shore Drive was eventually closed.

But I hear Puxatawney Phil the Groundhog did not see his shadow so Spring is just around the corner!

Theme Day: Fountains

It's the first of the month and that means it is Theme Day at City Daily Photo. February's theme, chosen by the CDP voters, is Fountains.

I'm sure this fountain provides thirst-quenching water ... during the summer ... when it isn't full of snow.
