Blizzard of 2011 in Naperville Illinois

I woke up this morning to find my husband outside trying to shovel!  He didn't get far before admitting defeat to the great storm that left us trapped inside along with 32 other states!  I remember the blizzard of 78' and must say this is right up there with it.  The wind last night was pretty ferocious.  From inside my room it sounded like I was in a tent on Mt. Everest rather than inside my room in good old Naperville Illinois. 

I did upload the photo's on my flickr account but it is SO white out there I couldn't improve the color too much without it looking like a big white page so I left them as they were when I snapped the shots from my windows and door.

Took this shot from my front door.  Most of us are all seeing the same thing this morning!


This was taken from my living room.  I was right up to the window and this is the ledge,  it gives a good indication of how high the snowdrifts are.
You can see where the attempted shoveling took place but it's a losing battle.  This was taken from inside my garage.
