Thankfully a lot of people had the day off. And it seems like a lot of people are leaving early.

I took the day off from my current job to interview for another today. Thankfully I did, got in and out early enough to beat most of this crap. f*** this weather.

For those who are curious, here are the all time South Bend snow records, to show how much snowier it is in the lake effect belts. Chicago's records are about half of this.

 

WSBT-TV

So we've been talking about the ‪#‎WinterMelt‬, here's putting the snowfall in perspective. Yesterday's 4.2" pushed our season's total snowfall at WSBT to 96.2". That make this unofficially the 9th snowiest winter since records began in 1893. With several more weeks of winter to come, we could move even farther up this list:

 

1978-78: 172.0"

1981-82: 135.2:

1976-77: 129.2"

1898-99: 123.0"

1966-67: 110.6"

2010-11: 105.6"

1962-63: 102.5"

1978-79: 101.3"

2013-14: 96.2" + ??

1959-60: 95.1"

Per Tom Skilling:

 

"The storm’s new half-foot accumulations pushed area snow tallies to new benchmarks. At Midway Airport, where snow’s been measured since 1928, Monday’s new 5.4” accumulation sends the 2013-14 total to 72.4”—that site’s 4th-snowiest on the books.

 

The 4.7” Monday snowfall at O’Hare brings the city’s official seasonal tally to a rank of 5th-highest in 129 years of observations at 67.6”."
