Chicago Blizzard Time-lapse

A time-lapse of the powerful blizzard that hit Chicago on Feb. 2, 2011. The snow falls relatively slowly during most of the night while the wind is howling. Wind gusts topped 60mph and the temperature hovered around 23°F. Around 9:30am on Feb. 2 a late snow blast hit, dropping another 1-2" in a very short time.

The neighbors all made a concerted effort to clean up around 11:00am.

This was taken in the North Center neighborhood. You can see more photos of the aftermath here: http://jchal.me/fzwNya

This was created with a Nikon D80, tethered to a Powerbook G4 running Sofortbild.
