I went out. Turns out that I really did not need to go out and I'm pissed I did, but the details are unimportant. While out though I decided to 1) get gas and 2) go to the grocery store. We now have milk and fresh veggies and fruit. I really needed cat food, but completely forgot. Schools have already starting calling in their closings for tomorrow, but not mac's school yet. I really hope they are open, if for no other reason than all this tv and video game time is not good for him.

That is so wonderful Kathy. Gives me a little hope that not everyone, who isn't us, is an douchenozzle.
Living here is the first time I have ever (a) lived in a snow zone and (b) had a garage that I could park in.
Ugh, msbelle. I hate to say, but they will likely call it. I heard more is on the way for Friday.
That's great, Kathy!
How wonderful, Kathy! I was very pleased once I got out of the house to see the wind had done most of the job for me. There was no snow on my car, but I did have to dig some out from behind the tires so I could back out. All I did was move to a spot that had already been plowed so that if they come by for another sweep, my old spot can get plowed out, too.
It's so funny the way the wind patterns affect things. These are from this morning:

Seriously. There is one car length between these two. So glad I parked where I did.
They said they wouldn't take any money, but I could donate it to charity if I wanted.
That is so awesome!

They rock.
And we have another show day tomorrow. Just got the call. Yay!
I just saw this pic of Michigan Ave: [link]
Yeah, it was pretty dead downtown this morning. I saw a guy making snow angels in the road at State and Grand.
The downtown streets have been plowed and some of the sidewalks have been cleared. There is a bit of a dune climb at each curb. My biggest problem today has been coffee. No Starbucks, Dunkies, or Corner Bakery. 7-11 is open, but if I'm gonna drink bad coffee I'll get it for free in the green room.
There's an ad I've been seeing, where we see a garage door open onto a snowy landscape as a solemn voice says, roughly, "There is a group of hikers stranded, and a hungry coyote has just spotted them. If he doesn't get them, hypothermia will." Camera turns to show an SUV in the garage. "Now get out there and pick the kids up from soccer practice."
