Interrupting the snow talk to say that msbelle is the AWESOMEST, as well as the nicest!
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I hope they keep the trains running.
Good luck. CTA trains seem to have a more difficult time in heavy snow than Metra trains do. During the last big storm we had (1999?) I took a CTA train to O'Hare. The train operator had to stop a few times and kick off frozen slush from the parts of the train that contact the third rail.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I remember one ice storm we had in the winter of 88-89, when my sister and I were living in River Forest and were taking the Green Line downtown to our jobs. So many people decided the El was a great option when the ice coated the Eisenhower that the trains were packed to the brim, even though the trains were having a really hard time with the ice on the tracks.

Airlines brace for monster snow storm
And guess who has a temp job at the airport info desk Wed evening, Friday, Sat & Sunday evenings this week? With only one day of training and that was last Thursday? And it's solo?
You'll never guess!
I also unexpectedly have work today and tomorrow? I guess laundry and cooking will have to wait until tomorrow night. Oh, well, I do need the money.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Once again, DC is in that weird no-man's-land of storms. Points north and west of the city are under a winter storm watch, but the nearer suburbs and the city itself look more likely to get mostly rain.
So I don't know why the Federal government has already announced unscheduled leave/telework for tomorrow.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
If the red line isn't running after 11 tomorrow night there will be a lot of us having a slumber party at the theatre.
quester, nothing like jumping in the deep end. Good luck.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Prediction for here is, once again, 2-3 inches. Not enough to shut anything down, but enough to make the roads a mess.

Now tagless for your comfort.
This is the second winter in a row where Indiana is taking more snow on than Wisconsin. I feel bad for my family stuck in the Snowpocaplypse region.

Connie -have you had the pretzel centered M&Ms?
I have. I have not been moved to try them, because chocolate and pretzels don't mix in my mind.
