We're supposed to get almost 2 feet in Chicago. My usual 20 minute drive home from school took me 2 hours....all this and I just bought a brand new Focus yesterday.

We have about 7 or o inches of snow on the ground (along with wind and sleet) and people are sliding off the roads and killing themselves. They forget that one has to slow down on this stuff. We don't swap to snow tires here,and people just have no clue.

 
I've never had actual snow tires before... just all weather radials....They work fine for Buffalo. Or maybe I'm just used to driving in snow.

Jerry, thanks for adding a little perspective!  I have a friend in Buffalo, he keeps me honest if I whine about the snow...

We actually have great snow removal in this part of the state.. the city gets  a little buried because of the street parking, but most other parts around here get plowed out pretty fast.

We have ice here...I'd rather have a foot of snow than 1/2"-1" of ice.  More ice coming later today.

Yup, put me in the red there with Chuck. I forgot my cardboard on the windshields last night too.....not tonight!

I drive a lowered, turbocharged Ranger; always on cheapy all-seasons. I just wish all the sissy hoosier drivers would get outta my way.

I just had a ice covered tree limb fall and land about 3' from my house.  My wife and I hit the deck like a grenade was going off.  I expect our power to be out before the night is over.  Limbs are falling out of trees everywhere.

To put things into perspective, when everyone is done with this storm, and everything goes back to normal for the remaining time ahead.....



Come the month of May, I will still have more snow on the ground than what you all will have from this single storm.  And you wonder why I drink heavily, lol.

Nahh, not me. I don't blame you. This shiznit is making me want to find the bottom of my big bottle of 100 proof SoCo....and I'm not much of a drinker anymore.

Actually, Beau, when the storm is over, and the wind had died out, it'll make for some even better pics of the landscape.... especially if the pics are taken right at sunrise.

I'm glad you didn't rub in the fact it was in the mid-50's all day, too ;)

Yawn... The front is halfway over (I am in the red band), and not much noteworthy is happening. Sleet is piling up, but no ice formations or anything cool. With all of the hype about this "historic storm" I expected more...

I was hoping for my job to close tomorrow, but probably not at this rate...

I took this picture back in 2005 (I think that was the year...) That ice storm was horrible! Trees dropping all night long, power lines down everywhere, phones down. For some reason, my house had power the whole time. Needless to say, I had a house full of family from all over crashing until their power was back up.

We've had the worst snow I've seen in my 34 years. No shiznit, folks. People are going to die in this one.

Wind is about 40-45 mph, and that's steady..the gusts are up to 60.

So far we've had about 13", the drifts are horrendous. My driveway is socked in, my 4x4 has no chance to get through.

This may sound trite to someone from say, Michigan, or Chicago....but we just don't get snow like this, normally.
I think the only place left open in Brookfield is Wal Mart.
Everything else is literally closed up and locked down. Even I70 has been shut down clear across the state. Rumor has it that our 4 lane that I live 2 miles from has been closed, but according to the state's DOT site, it's listed as covered, but not closed. It oughtta be, in this shiznit you can't see an eighth of a mile.
