Woodstock woman shocked by drift’s size

As a native Chicagoan, Dianne Munguia has lived through some big snows. But she wasn’t prepared Wednesday for the head-high drift when she opened the garage door at her Woodstock home.

“Oh my God. How am I going to get out of here?” she wondered. “I’ve never experienced anything like this.”

Temporarily limited to the use of one arm because of a recent surgery, Munguia can only chip away bit by bit.

“This is what’s going to make me want to sell the house and get an apartment or townhome,” she said.
