The Great Blizzard of 2011!

This is what the blizzard of 1967 In Chicago, IL looked like....
No... I wasn't alive to even see it (my parents we're only 6 years old) but over the last 24 hours, I've heard A LOT about it, so much about the 67' blizzard, I almost feel like I lived through it!


We're supposed to be experiencing a blizzard tomorrow-Wednesday! What a way to start February?! This is going to be the first "massive" blizzard-like snow that we've had in the Chicago-land area since 1979! From what the forecasts have been predicting, its going to be the "REAL DEAL"... eek!

So what do we have in store for us over the next 2 days?! Well, they're saying from a foot-20 inches of snow; winds up to 45 mph and overall nasty, snowy, blowy and cold weather!

I must admit, that I am a lover of all things snow! I love snowfall (its sooo beautiful) and I love to be in the snow (there's something so magical and whimsical about snow)... So I'm pretty darn excited about this blizzard which is headed our way!

We'll see what REALLY happens, it seems that these weather reports always disappoint rather than satisfy my desire for a REAL snow storm!

Hopefully, I'll be able to experience the Blizzard of 2011! Wouldn't it be awesome to share blizzard pictures, movies, and videos with my kids someday?!

My parents were old enough to remember the Blizzard of '79 and I've seen pictures, videos and heard stories about the storm-and I've often wished that I were able to experience such a snowstorm! It seems like my chance is finally here and I am welcoming mother nature into the area with open arms!

Bring it on Blizzard!!! I cant wait! :)
