The night after an "isolated blizzard" hit Central Avenue, real snow fell in Highland Park.
Patch photojournalist Steve Handwerker was awake at 2:30 a.m., Friday, when he noticed winter's first snow. Only hours after returning from shooting the shopping event in downtown Highland Park, he went back to snap some shots of the season's first snowfall.
See photos of the snow above.

The snowfall was very beautiful. It has been about 11 years since I saw snow. We moved up here this summer from FL.I was up at 2am and I was about to go to bed and my 10 year old woke up and came downstairs.She has a cold. We turned off all the lights and watched out the windows as the snow glistened and fell on the sidewalks and streets. It was her first time seeing the snow cover the ground. I had forgotten how sparkly the snow can be. We both wanted to go out in the cold and leave footprints in the fresh, untouched snow. :) I did not even think to take a picture.

Hi, Krista,
Your experience and beautiful words are exactly what I tried to convey through photos for those not awake like us!
Enjoy the winter,
Steve
