Shamrock Shuffle 2012

2012 Shamrock Shuffle was a great success. With a little time of under one hour my wife, Ewelina, finished the race with a happy smile on her face while carrying our 6 months old daughter in her tummy. Read and see more HERE

Lake Michigan during the coldest day of 2011 thus far

So far the coldest day in Chicago happened to be today, January 21, 2011. With the temperatures dropping down to -4F and up to 13mph winds, the chill factor can give an unpleasant feeling to exposed skin. In other words, it's pretty cold!!!

I was able to snap a few pictures by the lake, which surprisingly is not frozen (even after weeks of sub-zero temperatures). As usual, the lake at these temperatures looks like it's boiling, which creates spectacular views. Here are some of the pictures.
