Someone told me that the most disgusting thing about Chicago winters is that people let their dogs poop in the snow and don't pick it up. Then in the spring when all the snow melts, there's all this old dog poop everywhere. Is that true?

It may be, but I didn't really see that in my neighborhood last spring...

Okay, now this entry looks stupid. Clearly this mere 10 inches of snow was nothing compared to the inch of solid ice fellow Rice alum Ilana had to chip off of her car (in Columbus, OH), nothing compared to the much heavier snow fall here in Chicago last weekend, and certainly nothing compared to the TWO feet of snow that fell on the northeastern United States earlier this week. Sheepishly, I revoke my whining.
