So you may have heard we got a little snow a few days ago. We're told that news reports in other places made it sound like we were all getting buried under 35 feet of snow and would never be heard from again. Chicagoans (even the ones just here temporarily) don't let a little powdery stuff get in the way of a brisk walk, some sightseeing, or their senses of humor. Enjoy these photos taken by (and sometimes of) University of Chicago Law School students.
