We got hammered with a large snowstorm February 2, 2011. This is what
we woke up to that morning:
We had to dig out from the garage door opening as the front and back doors
were blocked with snow. I had to shovel back to the shed to retrieve the
snowblower purchased just one day before then drag it back to the driveway to
get started on the snow clearing. The city didn't even try to plow the
cul-de-sac, they had a front end loaded come by and pile up the snow into the
center.
The snow was taller than the snowblower in the driveway, we got 24" overnight
a new Chicago record.
