Wall of WInd

So I was heading to school today to do some reading and research for an upcoming paper. As I was walking towards the bus stop, I suddenly was hit with a wall of wind. For those of you unfamailiar with the concept, think of attempting to walk forward, but a gust of wind blows at you so hard that even with vigorus walking you mange to only inch forward. I was able to eventually make it to the bus stop and get to the school' s library. While Walking in downtown Chicago I had the joy of being greeted with snow.rain, and a lot of wind.

I have actually never seen all three at once like that. I have seen snow and wind togther, but never intermixed with rain as well. For those interested, the snow didnt actually collect, it smply melted upon hitting the ground. This weather took me a little by surprise since the last few days have actually been in the 40's whereas today hit the high 20's.

If there is anything good about a wall of wind, its the flip side. So when I was heading back to my aprtment from the buss stop, I hit the same wall of wind. Now with the wall pushign me in my back and my walking, I was able to get to my apartment in record time! Now, if I could only control the wind...
