DBAHO Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Nothing like a nice hot Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Yeah the final verdict ended up being about 2 feet of snow, give or take the inch that you sissies in Chicago got, with an snow emergency to make it nice and officially a snow storm. Anyone out in the streets yesterday was being ticketed, and it still didn't stop idiots, like me for example, from going out and driving around. I did manage to baja a snow bank out by the state prision and still avoid getting stuck. We only got an inch in Cedar Lake, SS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 We only got an inch in Cedar Lake, SS! Once you got past I-65 everyone got nothing but a dusting. The heavy snow band was only about 10-15 miles wide, with a bullseye on good ol MC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 How were the trains running today? We were just over 10 minutes late, and that was only because a door got stuck open at 57th, and it took 3 collectors to figure out what to do.

I chose to drive. One because I figured it was under 20 degrees and a line usually snaps at that temp on the SS. and 2, the wife is due any day now.

FlaSoxxJim Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 (edited) Thanks. I haven't said much about it. I'll be sure to start a thread when it happens, though. ...Called the "I'm never getting any sleep ever again!" thread... And of course you never will. My youngest is 5, and I was up with him on the hour Saturday night because he caught a flu bug and was puking all night. Good times...

Always a good plan to avoid the SS if you might need to get home quickly And prayers to you and the misses that everything goes well!

Xero Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Anyone else in the part of Northwest IN getting whiteout condiditions? Damn. We are getting about 3 " an hour of snow And it is all right over good old Michigan City I was traveling in it. I was on my way back to Chicago. Luckily they closed the road after we got passed it.

You probably gained a few pounds, and it is so hard trying to sleep in the same bed with a pregnant person. And not knowing when the baby will come. I hope your wife is being supportive during this time. Any chance for a Christmas baby?

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I heard on the TV weather it's supposed to be 10 below for the actual air temp on Christmas morning. Charming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Some pictures of Michigan City, courtesy of the mother in law. For those who have or have not been to Michigan City before, the first two pictures are of Franklin St (Hwy 421 for all of the FIPs) a 5 lane street that is the main north/south artery from I94 to the lakefront.

Rex Kickass Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Awesome, I'm spending Christmas in Ice Planet Hoth. What's the weather supposed to be like Thursday over there? Decent? I don't want my flight to be delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
