Countdown to Christmas #2 (December 5th)

Yesterday, it snowed. and in the evening it snowed. and in the early morning hours, presumably, it snowed.

But not like it snows back home. 3-5 inches equals a storm around here, apparently. Back in Buffalo they wouldn't bat a lash. That's like a wednesday afternoon before the lake-effect kicks in over there. *prepares for a long-winded, old-man speech, thinks better of it* I'll spare you the details.

Oddly enough, i still refer to Buffalo as 'home' despite the fact that i have not lived there in years. Maybe it is because i lived in western new york for 20 something years of my 20 something life. that's what we in the biz call 'a long ass time.'

Yet I'm glad i don't live there anymore. And not for the snow reasons. just, Chicago is pretty great and doing everything just fine. With zoo lights, edward albee and the Golden Compass on the horizon, will be a fine time in the city this weekend. winter storm or no.
