Journal Penguin Follower's Journal: This week's adventures in travel 6

Today we're going to talk about northwest Indiana (as in Chicago suburbs - I'm like 10 miles from the Illinois border). Anyway, I'm going to talk about weather, but mainly in contrast to what I've known most of my life (Ohio). So the phrase I'd like to use in reference to what I encountered last night on my way back to the hotel from the bar is.... Holy Fucking Shit, Batman!

When we talk about a white out in a snow storm in Ohio, it holds no candle to what the wind can do up here near Chicago. It was so cold with the wind chill... no words to describe it. And it was so much of a white out, that I couldn't see two cars ahead of me in traffic - even while sitting still at the red light (of which there are many). It took me nearly 40 minutes to go from Crown Point to Schererville (in contrast to before the storm I got there in 20).

So, there you have it! Only visit this place in the summer. ;)
