First Snow 2015-2016
It’s the wet heavy snow that made shoveling with one hand a real workout.

Just in time for the market!
November 21, 2015
You’re going to cause yourself some harm shovelling one handed.
Be careful please Chad.

Akinola Emmanuel, funny you mention Christkindlmarket. I was just thinking of seeing who wants to do a group outing.
November 21, 2015
Chad Haney I’m in! I’m going to invite our new German post-doc.

Nikki C, I pushed the snow instead of trying to lift it. Don’t worry. I’m thinking of buying a snow blade meant for pushing rather than shoveling. http://goo.gl/TFRVjG

Christian Wietholt and Lindsay Leonidas, are you in for Christkindlmarket?
November 22, 2015
Hire a kid
November 22, 2015
Very unlikely in my neighborhood, Brigitte W.
November 22, 2015
Chad Haney I’m sorry. Please don’t hurt yourself.
November 22, 2015
Keep your hands warm. And don’t kill yourself. Consider paying a teenager.
November 22, 2015
Rugger Ducky, see comment above. Not in my neighborhood.
November 22, 2015
Chad Haney why? No kids?
November 22, 2015
Mostly college kids. The few high school kids have parents at the university. They are either not interested or they are too busy.

Where are you located? I can understand that it may be hard to find a young entrepreneur for snow duty. When I was a kid, all the kids over age ten were expected to shovel out for all the neighbors. And we all particularly looked out for the older folks. It sure is different now.
November 22, 2015
Aha! Was thinking that. Had seen your photos and one by Lauri Novak and heard from my folks up there so I was right! Hope it didn’t freeze over the snow.
November 22, 2015
Enough fire will melt snow; ergo, make much fire.
I’m certain my logic is impeccable.
November 22, 2015
coincidentally we had the first snow last night too.

It’s a conspiracy Steven Spence

I prefer thinking that we just got the VIP preview of winter, Chad Haney . Winter with the masses? Or winter with those who appreciate it? 😉
November 22, 2015
Just northwest of me, O’Hare airport had 28.4 cm of snow. I believe that’s the second largest amount of snow for the first snowfall of the year in Chicago.
November 22, 2015
that’s impressive! Winter is already there for you.
November 22, 2015
Steven Spence, how many cm of snow did you get and what part of Germany are you in?
November 22, 2015
Dude, it was only 2-3 cm and most of it melted off in the drizzling rain. Southwest near Stuttgart.
November 22, 2015
Steven Spence, I think my friend Christian Wietholt is from the Northwest near NL. Do you know which part Stephanie Dreyfürst is from?
November 22, 2015
yes, will PM you in case she doesn’t want it public.
November 22, 2015
Smart move, Steven Spence
November 22, 2015
yes, her wrath melts steel girders. 😉
November 22, 2015
Which is odd because her “girders” melt wrath!
November 22, 2015
I like the way you think.
November 22, 2015
Irretrievably twisted, huh?
November 22, 2015
We like you that way, Brigitte W..
November 22, 2015
😀
November 23, 2015
Heh. I’m in Hamburg atm, ready to go to the Baltic Sea for three days of heavy thinking. Will post nice winter picture from the sea side, I promise.
November 23, 2015
Stephanie Dreyfürst, looking forward to your seaside photos.
November 23, 2015
We should start the Market planning!!!
November 23, 2015
Akinola Emmanuel, we should save up enough money to go to Christkindlmarket with Steven Spence and Stephanie Dreyfürst in Germany. That should be on my bucket list
When are you thinking of going downtown? We should start a private thread for that.
November 23, 2015
Chad Haney that sounds awesome! I want to go after Thanksgiving.
