Here in Chicago we got quite a bit of snow today, around 20 inches or so. And although I’ve been told by [my favorite Canadian](http://twitter.com/MenwithPens/status/32919237819375618) that what we got was only *some* snow, it’s still a lot to us. Those Canadians…they can keep their snow, I prefer the beach. 🙂

\
 But anywho, we ventured out into the snow and we spent around 4 hours clearing the driveway today. Since this is a snow to remember (whoever came up with the word Snowpocalypse, I love it thanks), I filmed a tiny bit of the fun along the way.

So I’ll leave you with the video and all I want to say is, no matter how much snow you do or do not get, no matter how busy, tired, and overworked you are, I hope that you’ll take a second to make the most of today.
