Snowpocalypse 2011 - show your snow

Pete Zicato · 02-01-2011, 02:54 PM

It's starting to hit Chicago. Take a pic and show your snow.

Pico and ME · 02-01-2011, 03:01 PM

Well, when we get it I might, but so far its only been ice pellets since last night. I'm seriously bummed.

monster · 02-01-2011, 03:14 PM

Nothing yet (except what's already on the ground). But we just took the decision to cancel swim practice. The wind is strong and cold....

Pete Zicato · 02-01-2011, 03:34 PM

Here's downtown Chicago. Not much on the ground yet. But despite the crappy phone camera, you can see the snow coming down pretty hard.

Yeah. All that grey is not smudgy windows.

glatt · 02-01-2011, 03:42 PM

Started off as a freezing mist, and now it's honest rain.

I'm happy. As much as a cold rain sucks, I'd much rather have it than ice. It might hit 50 tomorrow!

I'll drive in snow. It can be fun, even. But I will never voluntarily drive when it's icy.

So just about everything is closing here and anouncing closing tomorrow, except Ann Arbor Public Schools. Srsly, it's a given, why can't they just announce it and be done? grrr.

An hour after we cancelled swim practice (in a different school district), the school it's held in decided to announce closure -a mere half hour before practice was due to start. Thanks. Not. Good job we didn't wait.

monster · 02-01-2011, 04:30 PM

At last, they cancelled school.

monster · 02-01-2011, 04:58 PM

and it's snowing

Snowpocalypse may turn into Icetastrophy 2011... we're right on the edge of losing our beautiful snow.

monster · 02-01-2011, 08:03 PM

This is a blizzard? I'm not terribly impressed....

Nirvana · 02-01-2011, 09:09 PM

It certainly is a blizzard here! There is probably a foot of snow by now. Not going outside. The wind is howling like a demon.

I have filled the oil lanterns...

Maybe a photo in the morning

monster · 02-01-2011, 09:53 PM

Well we're over 6 inches, I'd say, and it's whirling in different directions, but it's not overly dramatic.... but I did decide not to go out and shovel right now.

Well we're over 6 inches
