Giant Ginkgo

Tonight was a really cool night of weird weather in Chicago. A strong frontal winter storm blew through this evening, with blinding snow and 50 mile an hour winds. I am sure that if it happened during the spring we would have seen some tornadoes.

I left work late tonight, so I decided to catch the 'L,' since the 147 probably wasn't running. The walk to the train was quite difficult, due to the incredibly strong gusts of wind that pummeled me every time I entered an open area. I managed to get to the stair case at Grand just in time to catch this small Asian woman who was literally being blown across the sidewalk. The slush was too slippery and she was quickly heading to the road!

I took a few pictures tonight, and finally set up a gallery of some of my Chicago Winter night time pictures...
