Chicago cityscape - snowstorm

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

Thanks all. It looks like the bar at the top of the Hancock building is a fave place (and little wonder!)

I was interested in Yuzu's story about a spider outside the window - way up there!.

Thersese - yes on the 1st, round about lunchtime!
