I'm connecting in Phoenix. I guess it's spring training?

Heavy snow expected in area tonight; 115-year record should fall
Fuckity.
A National Weather Service winter weather advisory that predicts 3 to 5 inches of snow is in effect in the Chicago area and northwest Indiana beginning at 6 p.m. this evening until 9 a.m. Friday.
Locally higher amounts are possible, according to the National Weather Service.
In any case, enough snow should fall in Chicago to break the February snowfall record of 27.8 inches set 115 years ago in 1896. So far, exactly 27 inches have been recorded at O'Hare International Airport, the official reporting station.
Consuela, I hope today is better, and tomorrow even more so. You've had more than your fair share of crap to deal with, lately.
We have all been sick with various ick, so I am overtired and very grouchy. Today would have been a great day to stay home and throw stuff out, but, alas, I am too far behind at work and I've already had to take a week's worth of time off this month to take care of my daughter and other assorted things. Bah.
tommyrot, at least it's record-breaking and not just generally miserable? I don't know, I always feel better knowing it really is that extreme.
I forgot to bring an umbrella, and it's going to rain all afternoon, apparently. Meh.
My poor Northern Indiana peeps are getting hammered with winter this year.
Yeah, and it's another foot or something of snow tomorrow for them! But only a little snow here, after the rain.
I am tentatively hopeful that the weather is going to stay above 45 from here on out. This means I am renewing my commitment to not wearing pants.
(I wear skirts and dresses. Get your minds out of the gutter.)
I'm with MFN on the photo. Never saw the movie either and haven't watched the PBS version.
drizzly by 60s here, just want to curl in bed, but mac has 2 friends coming over for playdate today so I need to clean the house up a bit.
Holy freaking RDJ NOM.
Waking up to that almost makes up for the three hours of sleep I got last night. (And then she has the gall to look like this at 8 am. WTF BABIES.)
I've mostly not worn pants through all of our twenty degree days. My most exciting find is these fleece-lined tights from Target -- I'm just sad I only bought one pair!
WTF BABIES.
That's why they look like that! So you don't decide fuck it, it's not worth the hassle....
I couldn't figure out how to work comfortably in my room, so I came down to the "library" of the hotel, which is actually perfect. It's kind of out of the way off the lobby, so people aren't really walking by, except for the catering manager or whoever she was who was giving a prospective client a tour. So far, so good!
