RS69 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I am in Chicago and I haven't seen this much snow in years. It is really a blizzard. I hope I can fly out on Thursday. I bet the plow guys are rolling it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'd rather have the snow. Bout an inch of ice here. Walked out to move the vehicles away from the tree and got dads silverado moved then a branch about 6 inches in diameter came crashing down on one of out trees. So I said fuck it cause I'm not gonna try and walk under a massive branch that's already creaking just for a car. Also heard at least three large trees fall around our house.

Mallard Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 It was a bust in Detroit. We got 4-6" but everything's still closed. Lots of drifting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Was rocking my generator last night, then the power came back on at 11pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Was rocking my generator last night, then the power came back on at 11pm. Mine didn't come back on until like 5:00 this morning. Lots of big limbs down in my yard. That ice and wind was no joke last night. Still no cable for me though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coty061885 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 These are all I have taken so far today. This is what I woke up to, drifts up to my chest in front of my apartment. I think the official total so far is just over 20" at O'Hare, but the drifting is insane. http://img826.imageshack.us/i/imag0010ll.jpg/ http://img832.imageshack.us/i/imag0012a.jpg/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Dallas is a giant ice rink, since they have no such thing as salt. It should melt, but the superbowl traffic will be a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
