Wednesday Walk - Late Winter in Chicago

Here's a late wintry experience from Chicago for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay

Late Tuesday we got the warning about another snowstorm coming in. It hit around the time I commute back home. I took the water taxi rather than walk all the way to the train station.

Here's a shot leaving the water taxi pickup looking back at the Wrigley building. Water on the river is a bit choppy from the wind.

Given the choppy water the taxi was a bit late. So I made my way to the front of the boat to kill some time. Here's a shot where you can see the El train passing on a bridge overhead.

Finally made it home. In suburbia the snow was just starting to hit.

The next morning we got around two or three inches.

They contrast well against this green awning.

Trees are nicely dusted too.

Time to hop the beast and go back downtown.

The ride in was a white and greenish blur through the train window tinting.

Downtown only had a light dusting.

Now from today, pretty much the same just a bit of snow dusting. We'll see if things get coated more by end of day. Nice gloomy day for ash wednesday, looks like its falling from the sky. Happy #wednesdaywalk

Fortunately this walk wasn't too slippery this time. One year all of downtown was coated in icicles, gotta dig up those old photos sometime.

We got nothing. At one point they were predicting 12in for here, and then they changed it to 6, and then to flurries. Looks like it all went South of us.

Chicago looks beautiful even in a winter day! At least the downtown areas ;0)

The winter makes the building look more moody than standard shiny sunny building photos.
