First Snowfall

It may have snowed in Chicago a few times already, but this is the first time I've been in the city when snow has fallen.

I was home in Buffalo for the holidays from Thanksgiving to my birthday (Jan. 4). It didn't snow prior to Thanksgiving. Once in November there was a wintry mix, but it didn't stick. Maybe global warming? Maybe not.

But it snowed today; in fact, quite a bit. It came down heavy at times, big fluffy flakes that stuck. Here's the look from the DePaul campus in Lincoln Park earlier tonight.
