Once and awhile late at night the Sears Tower goes into a strobe light freak out. Is this a fire alarm test and if so why does it take a ½ hour to complete?

Enjoy a couple of minutes of blustery snowfall footage in the Gold Coast and Old Town, from downtown #Chicago. This #snow is very slushy, heavy and wet.

A big thanks to the Chicago Department of Transportation for condemning the near north side with this all-day-long traffic jam on Division from Larrabee to Elston. No mitigation measures were taken prior to closing 4 bridges, such as signal timing adjustments and traffic aides.
