После Нового Года в Чикаго началась зима... я имею в виду со снегом и ветром. Сегодня выйдя на улицу я вспомнил что такое -30, а учитывая жуткий ветер говорят, что ощущения все на -50. Знаю, что читать материал сложно в праздники предлагаю посмотреть фото сделанные в последние дни в Чикаго.
1. Уборка улиц
Four snow trucks get ready to turn onto Lake Shore Drive and Monroe Street to spread salt. A big overnight snowfall added to already large piles of snow made simple tasks difficult in Chicago. - Nancy Stone, Chicago Tribune, Jan. 5, 2014
2. Почти у всех владельцев авто утро начинается вот так:
Pat Wood, left, of Crystal Lake, and his daughter Kelly Wood, 21, of Chicago, dig out a space next to Kelly's car so Wood can jumpstart his daughter's car, parked in a lot near Sheridan Road and Touhy Avenue on Chicago's North Side. - Chris Walker, Chicago Tribune, Jan. 2, 2014
With the actual temperature settling at -12 degrees, it took Francisco Noriega, of 4400 block of Columbia Avenue in Hammond, Ind., about 2 1/2 hours to dig out his car after snowplows blocked it in. - Michael Zajakowski, Chicago Tribune, Jan. 6, 2014
3. Детяй кайф!
Samantha O'Brien, 12, watches as her sister Sydney, 9, sleds down the sledding hill she has created out of the front steps of their north side Chicago home. The girls were asked to go shovel the steps but packed them full of snow instead. - Nancy Stone, Chicago Tribune, Jan. 5, 2014
Molly Todd takes Celvin Ponder Freeman for a ride down Cricket Hill at Montrose Park in Chicago. - Antonio Perez, Chicago Tribune, Jan. 2, 2014

5. Все! Устал!
August Heupel, 2, of Chicago didn't even want to eat lunch today because he was so excited about shoveling. He has his own adult sized shovel to help his dad Jon clean up their North Side Chicago home. - Nancy Stone, Chicago Tribune, Jan. 2, 2014
6. Ветер и снег - это нечто!
People walk in snowy conditions on West Adams Street near Canal Street in downtown Chicago. - E. Jason Wambsgans, Chicago Tribune, Jan. 2, 2014
7. Из серии "We are crazy"

8. Горим!
The railroad interlockings have gas powered heaters to melt the snow. - Nuccio DiNuzzo, Chicago Tribune, Jan. 6, 2014
