Man, rough weather out there today. It even doubled my commute…to 20 minutes. The last time we had weather like this(and we still lived in the city of Chicago) it took me three hours to get to work.
Suburbs, I <3 you!

By all accounts it should be lighter further north, at least. All the roads were essentially unplowed on the way in this morning, though I was able to make it in under 90 minutes by staying the hell off the Kennedy.
It was pretty light in Antioch, got horribly heavy when I hit Gurnee.
Lincolnshire was nuts.

at least it is only snow and not ice. here it snowed and then turned to sleet/freezing rain.

Oddly enough… It took me LESS time to get to work today… Apparently people are staying off the streets.
…or more people took public transit.

I am soooo dreading getting into work today *sigh*
It’s days like this that have delayed trains and mobs of angry folks…

snow plus “Windy City” = headaches
I saw a yr ago how one of the offramps with an incline of about 30٥ became very treacherous. Be careful out there

It would make more sense though if they told you not to come in.
I waited for the closing announcement in vain this morning. All the city schools are closed, usually the library closes too, but nooo. After we all got here, then the boss decides we should close after all. The roads were NOT nice coming in.
We’re a high-demand manufacturing facility; I think it would take a lot more than a measly blizzard (which we really aren’t seeing this far north) to shut this place down.
Traffic was terrible going the opposite direction as I was coming in (the way that most of the commuters go, towards Chicago). I opted to take back roads instead of the major road I usually come (120 is now a major road?). I was surprised that I only saw one car in the ditch. I expect I’ll be seeing more on the way home.
Yup, 120, 173, and 176 carry as much traffic as some of the US highways in the area.
