About 1.5" of snow measured with a ruler labeled "what the fuck"
About 2.5" of snow showing on a railing
Wind makes it really hard to get snowfall totals. I had two different areas on the deck railings. But I'd say 1.5"-2" is probable on the NW side. Definitely wet snow. #portagepark
Quite the turnout tonight for the #PortagePark bike meeting! I'm wearing a black "Pretty Cool" dad cap if anyone wants to say "hi" #bikechi

Three strikers with picket signs standing on the corner of Irving, Cicero, and Milwaukee in front of the Clarendale building.
Scabby the Rat is at Six Corners this morning ✊ #PortagePark
I wasn't able to get a picture, but Crafty Beaver on Central in #PortagePark has a cat!
Ruler showing around 6" of snow on the railing of a deck
Looks like at least 6" in #portagepark. Def could be a bit more in places where wind couldn't get to, so that feels like a minimum to me.
A snowy street scape in Portage Park. Streets and cars completely covered.

I mean, roads look like hot garbage in #portagepark, and close to 2" in last hour
Welcome to #portagepark drivers
Saravale is in #portagepark right by my bus stop at Lockwood & Irving.
This behavior doesn't surprise me in the slightest. People blow lights on Irving there all the time.

Went below zero in #portagepark #chicagoweather
Over 4" in #portagepark
Ruler measuring snow on top of a Chicago garbage can, measuring just about 9"
Shot next to a garage showing snow sitting on top of garbage cans an recycling bins. The angle of the snow decreasing as it gets closer to the garage shows drifting from the wind.
Definitely some drifting, but #portagepark appears to be the same as O'Hare, right around 9"
Last check for tonight, looking like 7-8" in #portagepark. With the wind, deck railing becoming unreliable. Lower down shows ~8", and I saw about another 2" from where I shoveled at last picture.

Looking like close to 6" in #portagepark
Photo of a ruler measuring snowfall, showing just over 3". The ruler is cut out with the words "what the fuck"
Just over 3" in #portagepark so far
Any #nwside #chicago folks report in on basement flooding on that last round? We've got standing water in the street in #portagepark

Photo of an ice cream truck on a residential street on the NW side of Chicago. The truck has a blue front with a mural on the hood (can't see it clearly), and what looks like a silhouette of a chef on the side door, which is painted green.
We must protect the ice cream drivers at all costs #Chicago #PortagePark

A square raised garden bed with two roma tomato plants in back, and four bell pepper plants in front.
A deck showing a smattering of herbs in 10" circular pots. From left to right: Genovese basil, Italian oregano, rosemary, dill, chives, stevia, sweet basil, flat Italian parsley, and an older rosemary bush that's trying to hold on from being inside over the winter.
Ok, gardening achievement unlocked. #portagepark #chicago

CDOT Welcome to the community open house for the Long Ave Traffic Safety project. The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), in partnership with the 30th Ward, are proposing infrastructure improvements on Long Avenue from Belmont to Irving Park Road to address longstanding traffic safety concerns from the neighborhood. NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY CONCERNS We've heard from the community: Unsafe vehicle speeds on Long Motorists not stopping at stop signs Cut-through traffic on Long Need to improve safety for people walking and biking on Long PROJECT GOALS Improve safety and comfort of everyone who uses Long, no matter how they travel Encourage safer travel speeds on Long Reduce non-local vehicle trips on Long Designate Long as a bike route to support the people who already ride on Long PROJECT SCHEDULE During 2024, resurfacing on Long was completed and Rapid Delivery installation began. Rapid Delivery installation will be completed and new signs and pavement markings will be installed during Summer 2025.

TOP 5% Long from Belmont to Addison is in the top 5% of neighborhood streets citywide for total traffic crashes. Between October 2022 and March 2023, a young person died and another was critically injured while biking on Long. 60% of people traveling on Long live in the neighborhood 80% of drivers who caused an injury live outside of the neighborhood 100% of drivers who caused a serious injury or death live outside of the neighborhood AAA 大 20 MPH 10% 30 MPH 40% 40 MPH 80% How People Are Driving On Long Avenue High Traffic Volumes Long averages 4,000 vehicles per day Local neighborhood streets in Chicago typically see between 1,000 and 2.500 vehicles per day Unsafe Speeds Speed Limit 20 Daily speeds of up to 45 mph have been measured on Long Cut-Through Traffic 2/3 of vehicles continue straight at signalized intersections Traffic counts suggest there are a lot of non-local trips on tong
A map showing the section of Long Avenue in Chicago between Irving Park and Belmont that is being targeted for calming.
Detail of calming measures on Long Avenue between Irving Park and Belmont. It shows existing speed bumps north of Addison, proposed bumps south of Addison, and that Addison will be where Long changes from two way to one for a few blocks to prevent traffic from staying on Long as a cut through.
Great to see a good turnout, and really excited for continued traffic calming on Long thru #PortagePark. Really excided about Addison & Long being reconfigured so that car traffic has to turn onto Addison. #bikechi

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to no longer carry oat milk. This change is due to a combination of factors, including supply chain challenges, cost fluctuations, and the evolving needs of our menu.
