Brian Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Doesn't seem like we have gotten too much up in Gurnee yet but enough to make roads blow. Work will be slow and it will get worse around 2pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I think we are in the 6 to 8 inch range so far, and still falling heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah, I'm guessing we're going to get more than projected unless it started moving through faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they over estimate. This time around, it seems like the projected totals keep getting bigger, O'Hare now looking at 14 inches. I wasn't very excited about our Super Bowl party options, happy to have a legit excuse if I want to skip them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm already getting tired of shoveling. Round 1 was about 7:30 this morning. Round 2 about 10:30. I'm kind over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a neighbor with an industrial snow blower who looks for any excuse to use it is great. He did half the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So how many people did this weather affect Super Bowl plans with other than myself? Can't believe I'm staying home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Was supposed to have a surprise party today that got cancelled. No problem though. It was fine. My girlfriend and our kids were into it. Even if they faked it, it was a good enough job for me. Work will suck in the morning. Regarding the snow, I broke two of my shovels based on the weight of the snow. I wish I had a snowblower. Can't wait to move to SoCal.

cabiness42 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Not sure how much snow Oak Brook got, but our office there was not closed today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 After a Friday forecast of 8 inches, we got less than an inch in Columbus. Stayed too warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Haven't seen anything official, but we are certainly over a foot here in Northbrook. I'd guess 14-16" in the end, but hard to say for sure with the drifts. Older kid's school closed, younger kid's actually stayed open. Office open (because the markets are open) but I'm working from home, staying with the older one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I had to shovel three times so I'm guessing about 20 here in Oak Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 3 times with the snowblower yesterday, probably going to have to do it once more when I get home from work today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? That's strange, I live near Oak Brook and they got just as much as the neighboring towns in which everything is closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which decision is worse: Deciding to drive in the middle of the blizzard, or calling a pass play on 2nd and Goal from the 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Looks like about 15" here in SW Mich. Took me 1 1/2 hours to make a 40 minute trip home from work yesterday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hm, maybe I'm underestimating. I always go with the lowest point of snow pack, but maybe that's not the best way to guess. I tried to google a local site for Northbrook, but the one I found said zero precipitation yesterday, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm here at work in Northbrook. Seems to have come up short of what we got in Lombard. Of course, we get hella drifts at my house. I don't need to focus on my back at the gym this week, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 We had about a foot, but then it started blowing last night so it is hard to tell. SOmething between 15 to 18 inches seems about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 With our home construction project, we can't use our garage really, so we have to park on the street. (No driveway) The Jeep got out fine this morning, but it's gonna be an adventure to get my sedan out tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Buying a Jeep with 4 wheel drive was perhaps my best decision ever in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
