Time Lapse of Snowstorm Captured in Downers Grove Yard

Surfing YouTube, we came across this video filmed on Tuesday of a Downers Grove backyard swelling with snow during the 9.5-inch storm, shot by YouTube user ianw1080 "just messing around with a GoPro time lapse mode."

The user (Ian?) also writes in the video description that he only managed to shoot about two and a half hours worth of film before his battery died, which time-lapses to... five seconds. But it's still a very cool five seconds to watch, as the ground and trees get white, and then whiter, in a real hurry.

Thanks, Ian (if we got your name right!)
