bigklita Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The outdoor outlet mall that I worked at closed early at 3 today. My guess would be that it will be closed tomorrow too. I was kinda pissed though because I already had the day off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you work now it seems like I haven't talked to you in forever and you live like 4 blocks away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPickle Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I just spent an hour shoveling, by the time I walked back to the front door the walkway looked like it did before I started shoveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I'm right near you. I spent 20 minutes shoveling as we had drifts of 3 feet in the driveway. Â It's starting to return to the same way... I guess I'll skip the gym tonight since I'll be getting a workout every two hours anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just got home from the loop (left at about 4pm). If you are traveling, I suggest avoiding Lake Shore Drive. When I got there it was completely backed up and had very little visibility. Id suggest other streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The wind is so bad in Chicago right now that Wrigley's roof is being torn off. There is so much debris on the field that you would think the Cubs just made a call to the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
