I woke up around 8, snapped another picture, and promptly curled back up in bed. I wish my snow day wasn’t going to be squandered on me being sick. I also wish it was possible to go anywhere to get more medication, as I have exactly one dose of cold/flu medication left.
My night was eventful, but only in the sense that I was sick and it took forever to fall asleep. The wind continued battering at my window until the wee hours, and the thunder and lightning periodically erupted, which didn’t help in the ‘no sleep’ department.
I can hear a train going by, so that’s a pretty good sign that the CTA is at least kind of moving along. It says Skokie service is suspended, but everything else is normal. The busses are all routed off Lake Shore, though, so I can’t imagine how that looks. Maybe I’ll brave checking it out. Elaine and I were considering dressing real warm and building a snowman- but right now I’m not even sure I want to pack my stuff up to go do laundry. The fact that I have to put on boots probably just to get to the basement of the adjacent building is less than appealing.
OSU didn’t end up getting an ‘ice’ day. Everyone in Columbus is a little sore with me, but to be fair, the weather here is awful. It’s not quite as windy and the snowflakes seem to be a little thicker, but the snow is still falling heavily. The cars along my street are in snow higher than their bumpers (it’s hard to tell from the crappy phone picture) and it’s drifting pretty high in some places. Hell, we could probably build a snowman on our little porch instead of going all the way out of the apartment. The wind does seem to have let up a bit, too. Really the conditions outside seem more “heavy snowfall” than “blizzard” to me (a subtle difference you pick up in Ohio) but since so much accumulated overnight, I can’t imagine going outside being anything but a nightmare.
Besides all that, though, it’s a pretty nice day here in Chicago.
