Chicago snow

They were saying yesterday that this snow may be the biggest that Chitown has gotten since 1967. The funny story about that storm is that on that day in 1967 I was 16 years old and took the train from my home in Milwaukee to Chicago to take my amateur radio liscense test. I got there with no problem and started taking the test. They came in a few minutes later and said that they were closing due to weather. I begged them to let me finish since I came from 100 miles away to take it. Of course that didn't work so I left and went to one of the nearby museums. I wandered around there for a little while when suddenly a guard came chasing after me and said they were closing and I had to leave immediately. GEEEZ! I can get there all the way from WI and they can't even keep the buildings open. So I went home on the next train and had to return the next month.
