I was in the supermarket this afternoon and when I got to the checkout it was snowing like a bitch. 75% of my shit rung up and bagged the power goes off. Only off for a couple minutes(they probably have emergency generators) and everything comes back on... except my register. The register ramrod takes all the stuff to another register un-bags, rings up, and re-bags in short order but by now there's a half inch of snow on my truck. Load up all the bags and it stops snowing as soon as I put it in gear.
Chicago was talking -10 F (-23.3 C) with wind chills of -44 F(-42.2 C) today, and -25 F (-32.7 C) tonight. The post office halted mail delivery in parts of Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania today. No telling how long for.
