So about a week later, an update.
Friday night into Saturday, we did end up with a ton of snow. Around 6 inches fell, possibly more but I'm not sure (well I wasn't gonna fuckin' go out with a ruler, was I?)
Tuesday we had an ice storm. I was leaving school for lunch and had to take several minutes to scrape the ice off my car. On the plus side, it didn't ice afterwards, so I quickly left before the traffic at the end of the day, while most other folk were stuck scraping.
Wednesday a bit more snow fell. And Thursday. And today. Fuck sake!
Today was also frigid as hell, with wind chills around -20°F (-29°C) in the morning.
No school cancellations throughout all of this, but I'm not surprised. By Chicago standards, it wasn't that bad.
What's ahead?
A snowstorm coming Monday morning. Funny thing is - one model shows 3 inches falling here, another model shows 13 inches. If it's the latter - definitely no school. Roads will be fucked. And also if it's that much, the snow on the ground - of which there already is a fuck-ton - will probably be 2 and a half fucking feet!
Wednesday morning and Thursday morning wind chills could go as low as -50°F (-46°C)! Definite school cancellations.
I'll be enjoying next week in the warmth of my house, it seems.
