           Greg and I are exploring the possibility of rescheduling to either Feb 15 or 16th depending on the availability of both our speakers and the Erie Cafe.
                                                                      Jack

Wednesdays work better for me than Tuesdays, but I'll try to make it either way.

Wow, that was a fun 2.5 hrs to snowblow my little drive. 4' drifts and that 6 club wind.  Had to break out a pitchfork to knock the snow down below the discharge chute. 
Why does the plow always seem to come by just when you finish getting rid of his last plow berm ???:(

The weatherman was pretty much right on the money...70mph gusts and 20.2 inches at O'hare....

So far, either day is free for me.  As to the weather, 1967 more snow but less wind.  I got out of town on the last plane during the storm that got Bilandic.  Played golf while the city shoveled out.

This is the worst storm I've ever seen, and I've seen some deusys, both in Chicago and Manitowoc. 

I had a plan. I was going to keep up with this storm by shoveling every hour on the hour. But I just can't keep up. There's about a 6-club wind out there right now and as soon as I get a swath of driveway clear, the wind just creates a new drift where the old one was.

UNCLE!  I'm just gonna kick back and let this sucker play out.  There's really no other choice at this point.   

I had the same plan. God laughs at plans!

Still, this isn't as bad at 1967, when the main street in front of my house was closed for two days. It's been open all the way through. My driveway, not so much.

Here's the important question - did you take those pictures?

If so, please share your story.

Yes, I did take them.

No real story other than I live a few blocks from where the pics were taken and I went out with a camera earlier to see the damage.  Last night LSD was a stand still as far as I could see in both directions.  Obviously, a lot of the cars never ended up moving...

Thanks for rescheduling. I am looking forward to the evening.

Mike Demetriou were you right?    "That said, the weather man is selling fear."

They nailed this one accurately, that is for sure. The loss of life/productivity was much lower than it would've been without their forecasting.  Actually, I believed their hype - but I stand by my statement - the weather man IS selling fear, on a daily basis.  No other career in the world with less accountability than being a television weather man.

I'm in for the 15th.
