Most counties surrounding Chicago are closed for road travel. Expressway cam's that the news stations use reveal...nothing. Not a single headlight in what would normally be a building rush hour. It's hard to estimate the depth due to the blowing, but 16" measured at O'Hare and still building at a fast clip. We are easily into the top 5 snowstorms, historically, with a good chance of even worse as the morning goes.
I stand at the patio door, gazing into the blizzard with a cup of coffee and wonder if Dwight and Stick would call us wimps.
