Feb 2013

I grew up in the Chicago area in the 70's and I have great memories of them. I moved south after college and raised my family down here. I always feel bad that my kids don't have any "real" snow to play in in the winter.

That said, I hope everyone in the northeast is able to stay warm and safe through it all and that the people without homes are able to get into a shelter. I know that I had the luxury of having fun in the snow, but it's not that way for many...
