This was awesome!!
The top of Sears Tower and the Aon Building are in the clouds and a flurry of snow is falling in the south of the city. The roof tops are already white. And just the day before we were walking the streets at midnight with t-shirts on!!
This was taken from the bar on the 96th floor of the John Hancock building
