For the past week or so, it has been snowing pretty regularly here in Chicago. Although the snow is beautiful, the one headache is driving in the snow. Usually they keep the roads pretty clear but if you have to leave in the morning before the snow trucks can clear the roads, it gets a little tricky. I’ve learned so far that the best strategy is just to drive slow. I don’t have a huge four-wheel drive pickup truck to charge through the snow so I stick to taking my time. Although it takes longer, it’s worked so far and I’m feeling safe with it.

I was driving this weekend to the grocery store and decided to take the back road through some small neighborhoods. As I was driving, I came upon a road and it was something like out of a movie. It was a perfect scene of a snow covered houses and the feeling of serenity. I was so surprised and impressed that I had to take a picture.

So I guess the bottom line is that everything has it’s pro’s and con’s and snow is no different. I wonder how long the snow will last? More to come…
