01/31/2008 More Snow!

Another 8" on Thursday night and Friday morning, making this one of the snowiest winters in sometime for northern Illinois. We have just topped 41" for the season. A few images from an early morning drive around town.

The edge of my driveway .... what the streets look like before the plows get there!

This storm was quite a surprise for our area due to this exceptional feature that set up shop well north and west of where the models had initially placed it. Snow totals in the Fox Valley -- 30 miles east of us -- approached a foot.
