I HAVE A SNOW DAY!!

And Chicago Public Schools do too which is a shocker since the last snow day was in 1999. We used to spend days praying for snow days when in school and now it's finally here!! Weeeee:D:D
 

ETA: I just came home after spending over an hour outside in the blizzard. It was a very long and exhausting hour spent trying to fight winds that would push me back 5 feet for every step I would take. The CTA buses were extremely slow and delayed (surprise, surprise). On top of that I had my brother with me who for the longest time avoided telling me that his hands and feet were numb just so that we could wait for the bus. Fortunately, the people reached out and helped each other as much as they could. I saw people walk out into the streets to help those who had fallen down and could not move. I saw them hail taxis for others and pull those on the sidewalks close to walls and poles so that they wouldn't be pushed away by the wind. I am grateful to the doorman of the nearby apartment who let us wait in the lobby even though its against the building policy and the mother who gathered me, my brother and her children together in the storm and prayed for us and those without shelter. This snowstorm is supposed to last for a day and I hope that everyone gets through it safely.
