QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 31, 2011 -> 08:38 AM) I was living in Evanston at the time, we got 32" overnight. I was parking on the street at that time, and by the time I went to dig out the car (in Evanston during snow rule you have to switch sides of the street each night), I couldn't tell where my car actually was. There was just a series of lumps along the side of the road covered in snow, so you had to shovel off part of a car... decide that no, that wasn't yours... and move onto the next one. That's at O'Hare. By the lake I've seen 3 feet-ish in one storm. Also, I remember the '78 winter blizzards, where it snowed for a week and there was 4-5 feet of snowpack on the ground. That was the worst I've seen. 2003 we got 3 feet of lake effect two days before Christmas. The crazy thing was 3.5 miles down the road at my in-laws, they only had a foot. The worst was the 1998 blizzard that shutdown I-94 and the south shore for the better part of a week. That one was massive.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) So exactly how much are most models predicting for Chicago? Skillings model looks like 24-30 inches for the whole event.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) No, they're already here (Dallas) and have a connection through O'Hare going back to Indianapolis. I'm sure the flight will get cancelled but I wonder how bad they are about change fees in advance as opposed to after the storm hits. Ugh. I was going to say they could stay here if they needed to, but that doesn't help at all.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 07:32 PM) I don't know your situation but there are some situations where separate filings will get you back more. There's not quite enough info here for me to give a definite answer. Is the house in both of your names? Do you have the deductions split by who has them? Is one income a lot more then the other? Etc. Be careful (which is why you're asking, I know). That is the big thing... You both can't claim the same deductions, such as the house and the new furnace.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) Whoa. That's uh...bad. Some of the local weather bloggers I follow are saying this could be 1967, or worse, if this stays on track.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 07:50 PM) Is that just from this storm or this storm + what's on the ground? Plus what is on the ground now. We got a couple feet about two weeks ago. Its down to about a foot worth of snowpack now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) Ok, that ain't bad. I'll give you some credit on that one.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 07:42 PM) Us too. My parents are here... they are supposed to connect through O'Hare on Wednesday. I think they're going to get to visit a while longer then they thought they would. It's supposed to be 8 degrees Wednesday night which is damn cold for here. It must be the Super Bowl. They aren't going to fly out of ORD on Wed if this storm is even 1/2 accurate. They are talking at least 12 inches everywhere, with 16-20 projected lakeside, and higher squals possible in lake effect belts.

Tom Skilling projected us to have a snowpack of almost 40 inches by the end of this storm in Michigan City.

Sounds like you guys are going to get a nasty ice storm out of this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 04:08 PM) If you want me to leave this forum, stop beating around the bush and say it. Oh, totally the opposite. It is pretty much all yours now.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) Ok? You're right, there are a lot more counter-points posted in this thread. What do you propose happens, though? No refutations allowed? No I propose we keep driving people off with the pretty much one way hyperpartisianship.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) No one's stopping anyone. More like anyone who did care quit posting.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 03:50 PM) But they didn't, that's an important point. I'm having flashbacks to the "ZOMG! Obama spending 200 TRillion a day in India!" crap/ I only wish the Dem thread had this kind of follow up done on it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) Yeah, who might use that opportunity as a chance to make an anti-union statement, secure in the knowledge that even if they can't provide evidence, they'll have a strong group of believers. or that even if they did, they'd have a group of defenders
