Off Topic: AndroidSPIN Suffers the 2011 Chicago Snow Blizzard – It’s Snowpocalypse!

Before you start, I know this is totally off topic, but I felt like I needed to share my exhausted morning for those of you who have not had to suffer Snowpocalypse 2011.

The snow is about 2 feet deep in the areas that are just the snow fall, but the incredible winds and blizzard conditions have created drifts probably 5 or 6 feet deep all around my house.

I’m sure the rest of the team is busy working away to bring you the usual array of Android news while I continue to clear the rest of our driveway waiting for the snow plows to get into the side streets and free us from this heavy white mess.

Enjoy your day people and enjoy the photos and video below, if you’re interested

Simon Walker

I was an IT consultant for 20 years and ran my own web design and development company for an additional 3 years. I have been involved with technology from birth. OK, that maybe an exaggeration, but it sure is a long time. I'm also an avid Home Theater geek and self appointed installer for friends and relatives. My first serious modding of Smart-Phones started with my T-Mobile WING and now Android devices. I'm also a bit of a photographer, although Android has kind of taken over my life and photography has taken a back seat.
