Frozen Chicago in Photographs

[Kirk Freeman]

Chicago Tribune has a photo gallery of frozen Chicago from the bitter January 2014 weather.

I like the photo across Lake Michigan showing the steel mills in Indiana.

Thanks for the great pictures of winter in Chicago. The picture near the end of the lady floating in the lake with the ice made me say no way.

He seems cold, but look at the people behind, they look ok.
His coat is too big. Probably only has a shirt on under. The cold then can go on up into the free space.

I forget when, but it was in the last few years, there was a driving north to south wind.
It was so bad, it drove the water up over the breakwaters at US Steel.
The water would then freeze. Making a path for more water to head south, and freeze.
Next thing you now, Lake Michigan is in an electrical room in the basement of #2 Caster.
Electricity.
Water.
Yup, it was everything you can imagine.

Wish I had a nickel for every time I went past the flashing stop sign and I would still be poor.

I really like the pictures of cars on Lakeshore Dr, after a strong wind from the East.

Those pics are near Obama's condo on 54th before he moved into the mobster's place in Kenwood.

Actually kev, that reminds me of an ex gf. The water was actually 70 degrees. The ice formed AFTER she jumped in.
