Oh wait snowmageddon was 2011. I have no recollection of winter 2014 must have buried it deep down inside

yea there wasnt one big snowstorm the way there was in 2011. mostly what happened instead was EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND it snowed like, a foot, and then the ensuing work week would plunge into single digits with hellscape winds off the lake, and then that cycle would continuously repeat to the point that you began to question your sanity

this thing says we got 82" that year lmao

yeah my front door is the draftiest fucking thing, i've got it covered in all sorts of makeshift patches and strips to try and keep the cold air out. i had some serious ice buildup on the inside of one of my bedroom windows. guess i'll have to hair dry some plastic sheeting over it.

I've already seen rumblings on chicago twitter that are dubious about the story, i suppose there's a bit of cognitive dissonance to think of proud boy maga hatted types roaming chicago as well as the audacity of the attack (noose, bleach). Whole thing is bizarre and terrible and i hope these attackers are found.
