The Chicago tradition after a 2 foot snow fall is to dig out a parking space and then place some old furniture in the space to hold it when you leave.
The fact that Chicago has a tradition of doing anything after a 2 foot snow fall should tell you something about this City. How many places have enough 2 foot snow falls to have traditions connected to them?
