View of a blizzard from 40+ floors
We are getting pummeled. Blizzard: 100, Chicago: 0.
I’ve never seen anything like it. Lake Shore Drive has been completely closed since 7pm, Wrigley Field had part of its roof blow off and I have seen not one, but two window screens pop off buildings and then twirl and twirl and smash into windows before being cast out into Lake Michigan. I have the blinds closed but every once in awhile, I can’t help but peak out and see if the sights match what I am hearing. Which is a whole lot of wind and the walls in my apartment creaking.
The Trib is telling me to get used to it, that the weather is only going to get worse and stay that way until tomorrow afternoon. So, I have an extra blanket on the bed, a nightcap (Bailey’s) on the nightstand and Luna Bell curled at my feet; I know that’s all I can really do at this point but wow- this storm is truly epic and, if I’m being honest, a little lot bit scary.
Cheers to my windows staying intact and me not being sucked out of my apartment overnight!
