January 2, 1999: Big Chicago Snowstorm

We got 21 inches of snow today. It was awful!   My roommate, Katy, and I took the 'El' to the movie theater off of Michigan Ave.  I've never seen Michigan Ave as desolate as I did today....not a person in sight.     The snow was drifted way over the parked cars.    These are the times when I hate living up north.  Nothing is worse than standing out in the cold, with blowing snow, waiting for the bus.
