We were completely snowed in for six days but did keep power. I was in Chicago for the big snow in the 1970's (1979?) somewhere over 20 inches and it brought the city to a stop, even with snow removal equipment. (It drove the mayor out of office and the one thing Daley always does is clear the streets asap.) So when I see that DC got 32 inches, I figure that combines both of my experiences in one spectacular clusterfuck. Y'all have my sincerest sympathies.

We have had a relatively mild one this year compared to last two - although I picked this one to break my arm slipping on freezing rain coated sidewalk just before Xmas. Midway has already cancelled all flights for 24 hours (I think I heard that one correctly) and Tom Skilling has his post-gasm glow, so this could be our turn for a big one. Yeah, Southwest never cancels all the flights (it happened now because I was supposed to fly out on one of those cancelled flights). I think the issue here is probably not the amount of snow as much as the predicted gale-force winds starting tonight and lasting into Wednesday. Snow blowing at 50 mph off the lake.

I toted an 18 month old just to a few neighbors houses before the slush turned to all snow. It stopped snowing here. Looks to be about 7" total

Half my area called in because of road conditions. WHAT ROAD CONDITIONS?!? We got TWO INCHES - not TEN. Another reason to hate Illinois.

Another 12 inches or more, and we humans might perish from the face of the earth. Bad idea, LDog. The rain would double the runoff, (1" rain = melted snow) and with the current snow already blocking the streets the runoff would lead to widespread flooding. Not to mention that in our part of the world the ground is already saturated and the rivers and streams are running at 80-90% capacity. There simply is no where for the water to go. The snow needs to melt at a rate where the sewer system and the in-place water routes can handle it.

Charles Gill and Ryan Knight, both 21, were nabbed by cops in Harrisonburg, where they attend James Madison University. According to police, the pair first targeted a city plow last Saturday afternoon. The driver responded by calling cops to report the frosty fusillade. When police responded to the scene in a bid to identify the assailants, their unmarked vehicle also came under an icy assault. Gill and Knight, a guard on JMU's basketball team, were then apprehended and booked into jail for throwing missiles at occupied vehicles, a felony. Gill (top) and Knight are pictured below in Rockingham County Sheriff's Office mug shots. If convicted of the felonious snowball tossing, the men each face between one and five years in prison, and a maximum $2,500 fine. http://www.thesmokinggun....s/2010/0209101snow1.html http://www.jmusports.com/...256634&Q_SEASON=2009
