only emergency toilet paper supply runs;)
Icy rain now, but roads are driveable, so not snowed in. Calls from local news channels to try and stay OFF the roads because they are dangerous.

Looks like most of the snow could fall between 9am and 3pm tomorrow. Would be a bollocks to make it back to the station only to find my car stuck in a drift (high winds expected too).

Perhaps staying at home is the best option, though tomorrow was shaping up to be quite an interesting day.

Decisions, decisions, decisions

If you get bored.. you can fill in the Chicago Wiki/Knowledge Base page (see link at top)..... :D

Its not bad here, but we're expecting 6-8 inches around here, and a foot further up north...everyone being allowed to VPN if they wish tomorrow...doesn't help me, because I can't dial in for some reason :lol:

Well I'm glad I stayed at home and will do the same tomorrow. Just looked out the back of our house and theres about a 3 foot drift in our garden. The wife wanted to park inside and it took me 3 goes to get out of the garage, there was about 5 inches up against the door and not much less on the road. They are quoting some crazy numbers like 14 inches by midnight and another 10 before the morning commute. Not sure if I believe that though, we'll see.

Our winter storm warning in Chicago got extended to 9 am tomorrow. Huzzah...

I'll have a very fun time shovelling the driveway, I'm sure. Of course the wind has blown the snow all over my side, and hubby on the other side has a small SUV with A4WD.

Thankfully I work from home, though... :p

I cannot imagine people actually driving along Lakeshore Drive today. :ohmy: :eek:
