Wow, I lucked out apparently.

Today is my first day of my new schedule of working 830-530 so you can imagine how nervous i got listening to PMayjr and AJ talk about snow.

Looks like it snowed here about 3 inches or so and it appears to have frozen but the drive to work wasn't TOO bad.

Hopefully it's not followed by a ton more today!

For NW Suburban Chicago they were originally predicting 10-12 inches. I'd say we got about 3. If weather forecasters are as bad at handicapping horses as they are weather, they'd go broke awfully quick.

North of Chicago by 75 miles and we got nailed!!!! Probably 1 hr of shoveling now followed by 3-4 hrs of snow mobliling and then the NASCAR race from CA will be the plans for the day.

JJP,
They predicted 10-12 inches in the MPLS area, and unfortunately the weather casters got paid. We got just about that, and we're supposed to get another couple of inches today. When it's all said and done though, I'll take this **** over the sub-zero weather anyday. Because when we get these blizzards, we get them when it's in the 20s-30s. We just got out of a 3 week cold snap that gave us sub zero temps everyday. Snow will go away after a few days... that cold stuff never seems to go away when it comes.

Here too , its just, wet, cold, windy, and sloppy. Nothing to get too excited about. It looks like travel is not a real problem.

Looks like we might get an inch or two and then some freezing rain.

It's okay though, cuz last night I had major dreamage about moving back to FL. So I spent about an hour or so looking at the South Florida area where our office is.....Can you say Gulfstream!!!!

no kidding only an inch or 2? I just cleared off the cars....six inches of heavy snow here...no sleet at all...what a difference South and Braddock Mountains make I guess....

I will be more than happy to send hurricane video....lived there for 5 years and loved every minute of it.....had I known then what I know now, I would have never left.....although we weren't in South Florida we were in the Orlando area in a suberb called Lake Mary.....Absolutely loved it....

[ddthetide]

yup 2" of snow and more rain than sleet. rain/sleet only lasted 45 minutes to and hour.

i'm with you i could take the hurricane better than this crap..... i don't mind the heat and humidity. my work truck has NO ac. you get used to it i guess.
