We share recent comments and feedback from our Chicago Tonight viewers.

This week on Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review, the Blizzard of 2011 takes Chicago by storm, absolutely paralyzing the city. The third largest blizzard ever caused complete chaos on Lake Shore Drive, with hundreds of stranded drivers and abandoned cars. As the city continues to dig out, some blame city officials for not shutting down the historic thoroughfare sooner. Meanwhile, the mayoral race turns nasty with Carol Moseley Braun accusing opponent Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins of being a crack addict -- then apologizing to her opponent.

From the inside of a car on Lake Shore Drive, to a nearly naked romp in the snow; we look at YouTube to see how people across the region captured the blizzard on home video. Your blizzard videos
