I had a doctor's appointment over lunch today, and it was just a short ride from my office.
I was driving down the road next to the WGN radio tower, when I noticed something I have never seen before.
There were large piles of snow along the banks of the road. They appeared to be steaming.
The weather has been so strange, with the temperatures in the 50's, that the cold piles of snow were generating a local fog (hence, the appearance of "steam"), that would roll off and collect on the road.
This weather is just out of control - It's supposed to be warm until Christmas, negating a possibility of a White Christmas.
