Just a bit of snow 🙂 This picture was sent to me by John Dunajcik
Can you figure out which city is this just from the picture above?

Twin city.
Moscow?
Looks like Chicago!
This looks like the north-east side by the water, and 14 and 41 come together there, but 12 stays west. I guess the highway sign is indicating “to 12”? It can’t be west or further south because 14 ends in the city and 12 would have another number with it.
To pinpoint my guess exactly, if Kosuke eats a sumo wrestler’s diet, he may be able to splash one down there!
chicago or madison
madison does not have big buildings like in the back ground
It definitely is Chicago. And I’m pretty sure that it is near South Ewing avenue (on the South side near the lake) right about where State route 41 (A.K.A. Ewing ave) passes Calumet park. (Check out the signs).

Moreover, given the cars and the amount of snow, I can fairly confidently place the year as 1978, during the huge Midwest blizzard that shut down entire cities and made millions of schoolchildren ecstatic.

John from Amsterdam
Wow! John from Amsterdam … HOW did you find that information? Just curious!
I had a *feeling* it was Chicago, and from the vintage of the cars, it was clear it was some time ago, but….
Looking on a finer online map than my 2000 Rand McNally road atlas, I see I should have said Alfonso not Kosuke :-). And it’s also quite possible that 12 had a different route 40 years ago.
The Buffalo area knows snow, of course! We missed the Christmas Snowstorm of 2001 while spending the holidays in Minnesota, but came back to find our car totally buried in the pay lot across from Buffalo’s airport. It took 45 minutes to dig it out!
Brad Hoehne It is Chicago but you have the year wrong ; )
It is Chicago from the year 2025 during the great nuclear winter.
Pass it on.
Anon of 2:15.
I should have quit while I was ahead. 🙂
