Written By Timothy Fitz on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 | 2/01/2011 09:35:00 PM

Dozens of motorists are leaving their stranded vehicles on Lake Shore Drive, after being stuck in the snow for hours.

The latest report comes from West North Avenue and North Lake Shore Drive; which is approximately 1500 North Lake Shore Drive.

At 9:09 p.m., several 911 callers reported motorists ditching their vehicles on the expressway. Police said the stranded citizens were trapped in the snow for several hours.

A woman and a 16-month-old child are also stuck on Lake Shore Drive. I was unable to determine where the woman is, but she has been strapped for three hours. She has no food or water.

According to authorities, some people have been trapped on Lake Shore Drive for more than six hours.

Meanwhile, at the intersection of North Elston and West Fullerton Avenues, which is approximately 2400 North Elston Avenue, a northbound CTA bus is also stuck in the snow.

Several police cars have been immobilized by the 2011 blizzard.

Authorities are considering using snowmobiles to get around.
