Chicago vs. Hollywood - Blizzard Edition

Here’s to all my friends in Chicago weathering the blizzard of 2011 tonight. Chazz had a great time at the Hollywood Sign in sunny California, but he would have loved to have been in the snow off of Hollywood Drive and Lake Shore Drive in Chicago! Enjoy Snowpocalypse 2011!!

Snowy California - A New Year Detour

Southern California began 2011 with a traffic jam for the record books, as a powerful snowstorm stranded and stymied thousands trying to get between Northern and Southern California at the end of a long holiday weekend.  Some motorists said drives that normally took four hours lasted 12 hours or longer as they inched through blinding snow, gridlocked roads and slippery black ice as well as a succession of accidents and stalled cars…“  So said the LA Times today, and they were right.  After a wonderful week in Madera ringing in the New Year with GLY’er Eva and her wonderful family, my trip home was anything but uneventful, due to that snow storm in the mountains.  In the 11 hours it took me to get home, I saw rain, hail, snow, black ice, freezing fog, a rainbow and a most beautiful sunset.  Take a look:  http://careygly.xanga.com/738490584/snowy-california—-a-new-year-detour/
