OMG, the TV news out of Chicago just now showed Lake Shore Drive with cars at a standstill because huge waves from the lake are breaking over the walls and creating a real nightmare. They are saying that during the night the waves may reach 18-25' high. (That's not a typo!)
Those waves and high winds were predicted. Anyone driving on L.S.D. is foolish. The city is foolish too, it should have shut L.S.D. down before the blizzard started.
Such a huge storm system! Looks as though cities such as Chicago and Detroit are getting hammered with snow while Indianapolis, Dayton, Youngstown, and Cleveland are getting significant icing, although right now Cleveland is reporting snow.
From the NWS:
* IMPACTS: TRAVEL WILL BECOME TREACHEROUS LATER TONIGHT THROUGH MID MORNING WEDNESDAY ON ALL UNTREATED SURFACES. POWER OUTAGES ARE EXPECTED FROM BREAKING TREE LIMBS AND WIRES WEDNESDAY MORNING. IF GLAZE EXCEEDS THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH... THIS WOULD RAISE THE POTENTIAL FOR DESTRUCTIVE WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES. THE WEDNESDAY MORNING COMMUTE WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.
If this storm is as severe as expected, I don't think there will be a commute tomorrow morning.

I love the Arctic blast we've received in Texas. It's now 20 degrees with a wind chill of 4 degrees with ice on the ground. It won't last long, so I don't know why anyone would complain. Now Texas heat is another story. It never ends. November to April has pretty decent weather in Texas.

I will try to find some. But it will get worse it the next few hours, so watch the 10 o'clock news. They should have some footage, and of better quality.

Speak of the devil. After my comment they did shut it down.

I hope it's terrible tomorrow, I don't want to go anywhere.
I skipped my class this morning. The college ended up closing at 12:30.
Today was actually quiet most of the day. Tonight and tomorrow are going to be awful. City may end up with a decent amount of ice, but it'll probably be worst in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Hopefully no trees will fall on the house!
