Dead traffic lights II

As I noted before there is a traffic light pole I pass daily that lives a precarious existence - they got it again:


This one happened during the evening rush hour, the three cars parked on the far side of the street were all involved somehow. I missed the actual crash and only witnessed the aftermath - I'd love to know what actually happened.

Spring Snow


This winter doesn't seem to want to let Chicago go. We had a week of 70's weather in March and kind of thought that spring was around the corner. But no, we got snow a week later.


It was the damp clumpy stuff and it didn't stay on the ground long (it got into the 50's the next day) but Chicagoans think it's about time they get to ditch the jackets.
