This week I’m in Chicago visiting my company’s office here.  Getting here was definitely an adventure.  I left Reno on Sunday morning on a 6am flight.  The night before, Reno got enough snow fall to break an almost 100 year old record for snow fall from a single storm in February.  Nearly two feet fell overnight.  The snow plows had barely touched the freeway, so what would normally have been a 25 minute drive to the airport turned into an hour.  I managed to get on my plane ok though.  Then, because of the snow and ice, the plane was 30 minutes late taking off so that the airport crew could de-ice it.  I had to catch a connecting flight in Denver, which I barely made due to the delay in taking off from Reno.  Thankfully though I made it to Chicago ok and mostly on time.  There was snow pretty much the whole way here.  It was still snowing in Denver, but not enough to delay that flight.  Then it started snowing in Chicago a few hours after I got here.  I’m pretty much of driving in the snow now.  Thankfully, the Chicago area does a MUCH better job of keeping the roads clear than Reno does.  They actually lay salt down on the roads before the storm even starts.  What a novel concept…
