| Terrible!! OMG it is so horrible outside!! I left to go to school this morning and had 2 come right back! There was ice under the snow and my car was sliding all over the place, I almost crashed so many times! And then the snow was falling so hard and hitting my windshield and I could barely see anything! Good luck to everyone that has to drive!! Be careful please! |

| Yep, we've been upgraded from a winter storm warning to a blizzard warning...oh goody. So, now instead of the 6 to 10" that were forcasted last night we can expect 10 to 15 since we're in this little corridor that was lucky enough to get more snow than the surrounding areas. It's blowing and snowing and just plain nasty outside. I went out to shovel the front deck for the boyz and stepped right off the bottom step because I couldn't even see it...the boyz didn't stay out long! I'm glad I went to the store yesterday...now I just have to find something to do inside all day. |

| I know the driving up around Chicago can get very treacherous -- glad you made the wise decision to come back home. I used to live in Northbrook and those were the coldest winters in my memory! I remember having to go into Chicago for work, parking my car, trying to walk down the snowy/icy sidewalk, and then getting slammed up against a brick building by a wind gust. My cheek was all scraped -- you could see the ridges from the brick imprint for weeks. I think I might have made my decision to retire in the south that very day!

| I'm glad you are home safe and sound. We are getting freezing rain right now. I am racing against the clock to get my last load of laundry done before the power goes out. I just expect that nowadays since it seems to go out at the drop of a snowflake. Yesterday it went out for 45 minutes and it wasn't even raining yet. The worst part is that I have been sick for the last 2 1/2 months and dread being in the cold again. Like I said before...you guys in the warmer states... ENJOY!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | It is horrible, I drove my dtr to work and it took and hour longer than normal and I was so scared. Them I have to pick her up again and then she has a class tonight in Wisconsin, we live near the Il WI border but it is all open spaces and that's where the blowing and drifting will be so bad. I hope the Professor cancels class otherwise I think I will be driving her and waiting at the college during her class. Oh joy! I want spring!! Jessica DO NOT GO OUT! It is way to dangerous for pregnant women to go out.
