They were predicting the buses would be delayed. They were pretty much on time. I also saw the plows go up and down Ackman a few times as well as our street.

just kma...KMA. I broke a nail in the process too and I am really pissed

The streets were better than the expressway. I blame my kids. They were pissed when the snow melted and they wished for this. I was fine with the cold weather. It's time for a little tough love.

It started out here around 11. The trucks were out on the roads keeping them salted and plowed. They weren't the greatest but at least decent enough and people weren't driving too nuts out here. Took Tora to go sledding as soon as she got home and a car ride that normally takes 2-4 minutes took about 12 to get over to the hill.

I remember there being a cool park for sledding in CL. Veterans acres I believe it was called.

Yes, that is a nice park. That's on the far north end of CL. We are on the southside. There is a park behind HRH's school that has a really nice hill so we just went there....the kids were all taking turns going down the hill and making sure they were out of the ways of the other ones.

Coming down pretty good here just over the northern border right now, but like Doug probably
expecting just an inch or two at the most.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Calling for 3-4 inches just over the northern border here. Looks like it is going to be a sloppy
mess more than a real snowfall for us.

Also be sure to complete this simple checklist of tips before heading to the game:

• Have your mechanic give your car a check-up looking for loose belts and hoses. All fluids should be topped off. Tires should be inspected for signs of wear and replaced where appropriate.
• See your primary care physician to ensure you are in decent health. Should any signs of illness appear, think about postponing your travels until more favorable climate conditions appear.
• Check television, radio, and internet reports of any delay or cancellation of the game. Many major sporting events are cancelled due to inclement weather.
• Call a loved one and relay your itinerary. Tell them you'll be checking in with them at various points along your journey. Email them a map of your planned route so that they can provide this information to emergency personnel should any accidents occur.
• Fill your car's gasoline tank to completely full before beginning your trek.

I hope you enjoy the game!
