Snow in Chicago

I am home in Chicago for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and yesterday it snowed out in the western suburbs. A lot:

According to Tom Skilling, this is on only the 10th "white thanksgiving" on record (since they started keeping records). I got to do some good snow shoveling, but I didn't have the proper equipment (read: boots) in order to make a snowman or anything like that (but the snow was good and wet -- good for packing).

So far, I am definitely getting a good "welcome back" from Chicago.
