Hi Again!  This week's post is coming to you one more time DIRECT from the North Pole!  

According to the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday: 

"Chicago’s 73.4 inches of snow so far this season, which the weather service counts as autumn through spring, stands at the fourth-most since 1884. That’s slightly less than during 1969-70, which saw 77 inches. The only two years above those were in 1977-78 at 82.3 inches, and in 1978-79 at 89.7 inches total."

By mid-day Wednesday we were at 75.2 inches! Our challenge for this week was to shoot action, and I have to admit that I cheated.  Just a little.  I was traveling last week, so I had to dive into my archives to pull up some of my favorite action shots from this winter.  Meet Buddy, a new friend in the hood and our resident snow-plow.

Isn't he the BEST?? Some might say this winter was good punishment for having spent 25 years of my life on the beach.  And I say, when life hands you snow, grab a camera, find a dog and make snowplows. Now head on over to the action-packed post by Suzy Pix Photography of Cincinnati, OH.
