This collection of entries is from February 14, 2007.
It started Monday night and had been snowing all day. Final total at O'Hare: 8.6". This was a pretty big deal, disruptions everywhere. The travel to and from work yesterday was a mess... almost 3 times the length of a normal commute. I heard on the radio yesterday that the commute on I-290 from downtown to basically next to my office was 2 hours and 30 minutes. And, although they had all night to work it, the commute this morning was pretty severely impacted, too. It's a cold snow, to, meaning that you can plow, but salting the streets won't work, since the temperatures are in the teens and salt is not effective.
Still... it's still better than upstate New York and the Lake Effect Blizzard that's been going on for over a week.
I still can't imagine having - within the course of a week - snowfall of up to 141", That's almost 12 feet of snow. In one week.
