Abstract
Life goes on in the aftermath of the overwhelming snowfall of the famed Chicago Blizzard of 1979, as locals shovel out their Chevys and letter carriers heroically trudge towards mailboxes. With a lyrical sensibility, Elam’s thoughtful eye examines the quotidian struggle of dealing with the force of nature in an urban environment.
