SoxFanForever Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Will this be like every other snow scare where we get dusted with a few inches and it's just enough to be annoying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a Blackhawks player in your avatar. I'm going to assume your definition of "a few inches" is the Chicago definition, which means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't work Wed so all I have to do is snowblow the driveway a few times and I'm good. Guess I will skip the gym that day. Like said above, who knows how much we will even get. I think they say a foot to be cautious and it maybe 6 to 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Quit b****ing. We've been getting 10+ inches every week. Oh, and sometimes a nice coating of ice for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fake cities like Albany, they tend to close down in bad snow or no one shows up to work. People in real cities have to tough it out. We've had one closing and another where no one came to work. Plowing is the major problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Is that just from this storm or this storm + what's on the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 According to a article I read, this is the largest snow storm to hit Chicago since Jan of 1999, when my high school marching band was stranded in Paducah, KY, and they wouldnt let us into the state.

That s*** gave us an extra week of winter break. The worst blizzard I remember was 2007 down in Champaign. It was the first time they shut the University down since the 1880's or something like that. Snow was still piled up in parking lots when it was 70 in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow was still piled up in parking lots when it was 70 in April. 1999 was a lot worse than Champaign, it is just that Champaign is a lot less prepared than Chicago for large snow falls.
