Well I'm just learning all sorts of nonsense today.

Um, can we get back to panicking about the 1/8" of snow we're gonna get? I look forward to a three hour commute Thursday morning...

_________________

My work from home day this week is on Thursday and I couldnt be happier. The last time we got a half an inch of snow the Brown line took 2 hours to get from Addison to downtown.

Water comes in to play on nearly every hole at Glendale Lakes.

ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL EXPECTED ON THURSDAY...

AFTER ANOTHER UNSEASONABLY MILD DAY ON WEDNESDAY... AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BRING AN ABRUPT END TO THE MILD AND DRY WEATHER.

PRECIPITATION WILL START WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACROSS NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND SPREAD EAST OVERNIGHT... POSSIBLY STARTING AS A RAIN SNOW MIX BEFORE TRANSITIONING OVER TO ALL SNOW AS TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING.

BY THURSDAY MORNING... TEMPERATURES WILL BE FALLING THROUGH THE 20S... ALONG WITH INCREASING NORTHWEST WINDS. THE COMBINATION OF FALLING SNOW AND WINDS GUSTING UP TO 30 MILES PER HOUR WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A HAZARDOUS MORNING COMMUTE. OCCASIONALLY MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW... IN TANDEM WITH THE GUSTY WINDS... MAY REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO A HALF MILE OR LESS AT TIMES. THE AREA OF SNOW WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING... BUT THE THURSDAY EVENING COMMUTE WILL LIKELY BE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED AS WELL. CURRENT FORECAST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE FOR A WIDESPREAD GREATER THAN 2 INCH SNOWFALL... WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS EXPECTED OVER FAR NORTHEAST ILLINOIS... WHERE UP TO 5 INCHES MAY ACCUMULATE.

OVERNIGHT LOWS PLUMMETING TO BETWEEN 10 AND 15 DEGREES ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND WESTERLY WINDS CONTINUING TO GUST TO 25 TO 30 MPH WILL RESULT IN MINIMUM WIND CHILL VALUES OF ROUGHLY 0 TO 5 BELOW ZERO.

FURTHER UPDATES AND REFINEMENTS TO THE FORECAST ARE LIKELY... SO PERSONS PLANNING TRAVEL ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS.

And of course a full day of meetings tomorrow. No driving range for me

Will someone please inform the newspeople we are in Chicago in January not FLorida in July?

You'd think this was the first snow we've ever had or at least we were expecting a foot of snow.

Give me a break!

2" of snow? Rahmmy better preemptively shut down LSD.

Yeah, who needs weather forecasts? We should go back to the days before doppler radar, where we just guessed. You might be the most easily offended person in history.
