8-9 inches in Chicago the next couple of days....

Which means I will be pulling the hair out of my fucking head, behind the wheel of my semi....

You want to talk about stress???

Try driving an 18 wheeler, in the city of Chicago, and suburbs, while 8 inches of snow is falling.....

that would suck for sure. dont semi's handle pretty well in the snow though ? just a guess due to all the extra weight.

We had some snow...of the 275 schools in Cornwall, 215 were closed. Most of the snow near me had melted by lunch time and I was one of a handful that made it into work. We are meant to get some more snow over the next few days so I can hope
I want to build a snowman and do snow angels...

Still plenty of snow around but i'm posting this from work :(

:( Oh no! We've swapped, I'm at home today! I tried to get in but got turned around by the Police half way there as the roads were too dangerous to drive on from there on in.
More snow falling here today, in heavy showers of snow rather than all the time, so it is sunny outside now but grey on the horizon!

Love the photos. You had fun today

Berlin 09. Just sticking it on itunes/ipod now.

I did have fun, honestly my family despair of me as I can be such a big kid in the snow. It's looked a bit like narnia here today

Berlin '09 is a great boot, I listen to it quite a bit. Makes me even happier to think I'll be at Berlin '10
Good job they let you leave early, otherwise you'd still be trying to get home!

Yeah me too, can't wait.

Tell me about it. Hopefully we will go early tomorrow as well but we are supposed to get some heavy snow fall for a couple of hours tonight :?

Our forecast seems to change depending on what weather report you watch!
But it seems we should get more snow over the next few days at some point...

with the possibility of freezing temperatures seems we're going for the record at the moment :shock: . It was funny watching them explain on the news how this is related to global warming (cos it's warm in the southern hemisphere hmmmmmmmmmmmm )

We got sent home from work today too... they told us at 1 that we'd finish at 4 in case it freezes, which was nice! Thank fuck tomorrow's Friday.

maybe if you call it "climate change", it'll make more sense

Most people just seem to think that global warming means everywhere will just be a little warmer. It's a hell of a lot more complicated and unpredictable then that. Weather like this COULD be a direct result from glibal warming and it could become more frequent in the coming years.
