We're due to start another round this week of snow and temps in the single digits or lower. Was out to the lakefront for the 7:11am sunrise on Saturday.
The ice is mounted on the beach

I watched this spot driving by all week and hoped the weather would work on the weekend.

Even with gloves, I was losing the feeling in my finger tips about this point ...

I think where I'm standing is actually water in the summer time ....

My daughter may be relocating to Chicago for her Medical Residency. I am wondering if she should be rethinking this!!!!!

rszer57 - The extremes of this winter are a bit ususual ... but I can't think of anyone who's been to Chicago and said they didn't love it. She will too.

I was in the windy city once in January many years ago and have no plans on a return trip. Did not like that kind of cold.

WYp8riot - I think you're thinking of the Sears Tower that is now renamed to the Willis Tower. They added some glass parts to the Observation Deck that allow you to step out from the building and look down from 103 stories up. That's in the West Loop downtown. You can just see the Willis in one of the pictures above and you can't tell it's taller than the Hancock Tower featured in many of these pictures. On a clear day or night you can see as far as Indiana and Wisconsin from either tower.

Nice series. I always thought Boston was cold until the one time I visited your city.

Alas I can't seem to edit the title now that an hour has passed. I mounted the ice, quite carefully, to get near the water but not in it. But, I think I meant the waves have been mounding the ice on the beach :-)Just curious how does one "Mount" ice onna a beach???

Funny John - until this stretch, when I think of cold, I think of a January visit I made to Boston several seasons ago ...Nice series. I always thought Boston was cold until the one time I visited your city.
