Yeah, I'm guessing we're going to get more than projected unless it started moving through faster.

 

Usually they over estimate. This time around, it seems like the projected totals keep getting bigger, O'Hare now looking at 14 inches.

 

I wasn't very excited about our Super Bowl party options, happy to have a legit excuse if I want to skip them

Ha, in the same boat. Come on white out conditions!

 

Although I'm already getting tired of shoveling. Round 1 was about 7:30 this morning. Round 2 about 10:30. I'm kind over it.

Having a neighbor with an industrial snow blower who looks for any excuse to use it is great. He did half the block.

Was supposed to have a surprise party today that got cancelled. No problem though. It was fine. My girlfriend and our kids were into it. Even if they faked it, it was a good enough job for me. Work will suck in the morning.

 

Regarding the snow, I broke two of my shovels based on the weight of the snow. I wish I had a snowblower. Can't wait to move to SoCal.

Haven't seen anything official, but we are certainly over a foot here in Northbrook. I'd guess 14-16" in the end, but hard to say for sure with the drifts.

 

Older kid's school closed, younger kid's actually stayed open. Office open (because the markets are open) but I'm working from home, staying with the older one.

19.1" at O'hare is what I heard on WXRT this morning, making it the 5th biggest snow storm in Chicago history.

Hm, maybe I'm underestimating. I always go with the lowest point of snow pack, but maybe that's not the best way to guess.

 

I tried to google a local site for Northbrook, but the one I found said zero precipitation yesterday, LOL.

I'm here at work in Northbrook. Seems to have come up short of what we got in Lombard. Of course, we get hella drifts at my house. I don't need to focus on my back at the gym this week, that's for sure.
