Snowed In: Shots from the storm that shut down Chicago

Yesterday we showed you some of the best images from the storm that, at that point, had yet to really rear its ugly head. Since then, the Midwest has been slammed with feet of white powder. In Chicago, Lakeshore Drive became a parking lot. As such, we've added some more images from the last day that capture the magnitude of the snow storm.
