Into day two of an almost blizzard, I can say that it feels good to feel like a Midwesterner again. Years of mild winters and living in a large city have made us go soft. But this winter, we've been hit with at least three big snow storms in Chicago, and it has given us a change to polish our winter skillz.
Functioning in a snow storm is like remembering how to ride a bike. This particular skill set includes: shovelling out the car, driving in the snow, and dressing for activities related to shovelling out the car/parking spot. Also, making a meal out of whatever beans and corn and shit that is in the pantry so you don't have to go out in the snow to get groceries. It's brings us back to our roots, roots that have been too easily forgoten with our Texas-like weather over the past few years.
