December 21, 200421 yr We only had a dusting at home, Rolling Meadows seems like it didn't even get that and my boss probably can't get our of his house (good thing he took the last two weeks as vacation LOL!).
December 21, 200421 yr Can't get much worse, can it? If we get that much more snow it will be 1978 all over again...
December 21, 200421 yr If we get that much more snow it will be 1978 all over again... Better get out those ABBA records!

December 21, 200421 yr Better get out those ABBA records! I think I would rather shovel the 4 feet of snow
December 22, 200421 yr We just got snow in upper Iowa and it's amazing how many people forgot how to drive in snow. I was a little rusty myself, today was better though.
December 22, 200421 yr Damn it we already have 17 inches and the county just got the roads by me cleared today. Didn't you get 2 feet out in Mich City Mike?
December 22, 200421 yr WHat the f***. Why don't we get any snow. I want snow too! If it was up to me, you could have 10 of our inches. 17 was too much for one dumping. Now it looks like up to 30 inches, damn. It's not even Christmas yet..
December 22, 200421 yr Gotta drive to Southern IL on Thurs. Damnit! Unfortunately, look what's waiting for you. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FROM 6 TO 12 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG... AND JUST NORTH AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM CAPE GIRARDEAU MISSOURI... TO MARION ILLINOIS... TO EVANSVILLE INDIANA TODAY AND TONIGHT. ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL BE POSSIBLE. GENERALLY 3 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED JUST NORTH OF THE HEAVY SNOW BAND... FROM PINCKNEYVILLE... TO MOUNT VERNON... TO FAIRFIELD IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. AMOUNTS SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER... FROM ABOUT PADUCAH TO OWENSBORO... SHOULD BE 3 TO 6 INCHES... WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS. 2 TO 4 INCH ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW AND SLEET ARE EXPECTED FROM MURRAY TO HOPKINSVILLE KENTUCKY. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW... GUSTY NORTH WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH WILL LIKELY RESULT IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. Sorry about the caps. I did a copy and paste from weather.com
December 22, 200421 yr LOOK FOR A MIXTURE OF RAIN...SLEET...AND SNOW EARLY THIS MORNING...TO CHANGE TO ALL SNOW BY LATE MORNING OR MIDDAY ACROSS THE SNOW ADVISORY AREA...AS STRONG LIFT AND INCREASING MOISTURE FROM A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM OVER WEST TEXAS...MOVES EAST AND ENCOUNTERS DEEPENING ARCTIC AIR MOVING INTO THIS REGION BY MIDDAY. WIDESPREAD TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS TO 2 INCHES IS EXPECTED...WITH LOCALIZED 3 INCH AMOUNTS POSSIBLE BY LATE AFTERNOON. -------------- Beaaaautiful. And remember, it was 77 degrees yesterday at noon. Listening to the sleet hit my window now. And what really cracks my ass up is people are on the news talking about being stranded at home. Dumb ass Texans.
December 22, 200421 yr Holy s***!!!!!! HOUSTON is supposed to get an ice storm on Christmas Eve. That's messed up.
December 22, 200421 yr 2 inches of snow in Texas = 3 feet of snow in Illinois. GITCHER SHOVEL, TEX!!!!!
December 22, 200421 yr Damn it we already have 17 inches and the county just got the roads by me cleared today. Didn't you get 2 feet out in Mich City Mike? Yeah we got 26 inches officially. Check out my winter f@#$ing wonderland thread. On the 4th page there are a couple of pictures of MC.

I have seen the way Texans drive on ice, and it ain't pretty. Then again neither is the way they drive in the sun either...
December 22, 200421 yr 2 inches of snow in Texas = 3 feet of snow in Illinois. GITCHER SHOVEL, TEX!!!!! I'm in the part of Texas that most Texans call Mexico and most Mexicans call heaven. 64°F Fair Feels Like 64°F UV Index: 0 Low Dew Point: 62°F Humidity: 93% Visibility: 7.0 miles Pressure: 29.72 inches and rising Wind: From the South Southwest at 5 mp The weather guessers are predicting near freezing conditions for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Freezing temps is a real economic and human tragedy here. Citrus trees die and the fruit is ruined. People down here are so accustomed to heat, 100+ degrees is no bid deal, but having the mercury dip below 40 and people suffer and die. Ice or any snow shuts down every road. 90% of the population under 50 has never seen snow, and 99% of the drivers have never driven on snow.
December 22, 200421 yr We just got snow in upper Iowa and it's amazing how many people forgot how to drive in snow. I was a little rusty myself, today was better though. If it doesnt' rain for a month they forget how to drive in the rian too. They're all a bunch of morons! People just don't know how to drive in ANY conditions! Can you tell I spent 45 minutes on the Ryan this morning?

December 22, 200421 yr Damn it would have been quicker to take the train.... I told you why I've been driving.
