The Best Pics of the Far North Side's Winter Wonderland Weekend

EDGEWATER — On Friday night, the city saw its first real snowfall of the season — and folks on the Far North Side took full advantage of the wintry fun.

From Loyola in Rogers Park, to Senn High School in Edgewater, students and families built snowmen while many others took to the streets to capture picturesque scenes of the snowfall.

Check out a round-up of how North Siders in Rogers Park, Edgewater and West Ridge celebrated Chicago's first glimpse at winter — including a visit from the CTA's Holiday Train.
