Chicago Blizzard of 2011: The Aftermath

Now that Chicago has begun the process of digging itself out of 20 + inches of snow, I would like to describe something interesting I saw yesterday in those dangerous weather conditions: Two crossing guards, at two different intersections. One was at North Clark Street and West Granville (6200 North); the other, at North Ravenswood and West Granville (1800 West), despite the fact that it was a snow day for the kids. I was very concerned about the safety of these two brave souls who seemed to be having a difficult time battling the elements. Not to mention the stinging mix of snow and, what to me felt like, sleet.
