All those loaded electric trucks, on the Dan Ryan, the Eisenhower, the Stevenson, at 5:00, in the dark, in January, when it’s 10 degrees and the heater and the defroster is blasting to try to keep warm, and it’s snowing, again...

You forgot the blizzard which stalls traffic for hours on hours ... and the highway becomes a parking lot with cars buried in lumps of snow.

Like 1967, or 1979? Been there, had the tee shirts. I missed the rest...1999, 2011, 2015...

My school bus got stuck in '67, a Friday, as I recall. the school thought it would be OK...

The '79 one started New Years Eve, about 5:00pm, and didn't stop until February... The city were towing buried Beemers from side streets in Lincoln Park, and dumping them on the softball diamonds, where they were buried again. The only people who knew where they were were the car strippers... Come the end of March, you could get a Blaupunkt, cheap. They fell off a truck.

How many shootings because some idiot moved a ratty kitchen chair from a shoveled parking spot?
