Wow! I just read the headlines on chicagobreakingnews.com and it said. "potentially life threatening blizzard coming". Are you kidding me? Way to cause panic jackasses. Might as well say "yeah we are all gonna die on tuesday". We are expected to get 18 inches, not 5 feet.

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

just washed my truck saturday.............fucking figures snow and salt then frigid cold.

if we get 12+ inches, i will be missing my wrangler, as the stock BFG's on my truck suck dick

 

[Theautoguy]

And I drive 50-75 miles (each way) to work. Currently I'm working around Sauk village, glenwood, Orland park, and oak lawn this week... This will be interesting. A blizzard followed by a day of single digit temp (not counting windchill). I doubt 18+ as well but I do say we'll get a sizable amount.

I think we're in the same boat! (I Drive 70 miles each way between Rockford and Itasca.)

 

[Theautoguy]

Screw it! I have vacation time, new Direct TV (The On-Demand movies still go through the internet) and I bought this a month ago!!!

Hell, I can even "remote access" from home and still get my work on!

[ktraver97ss]

I can't wait! During the heavy snowfall it may be droppping at 3" per hour.

 

[daturbosix]

i still say we wont get near what they are calling for.
but.... IF it happens, im still leaving my truck parked, i will test this crown vic of mine. lol. cops can do it....

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Its either going to be nothing.. or an actual life threatening storm.

Were already prepping ourselves and looking at schedules and thinking about calling patients just in case we cant make it in to the office.

 

[PANDA]

another decent storm coming early next week.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Supposed to get snow tonight too.

 

[machausta]

meh. its snow people, it happens

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

new york has gotten pounded several times this year..............we got this shit.

rockford to itasca does sound shitty.
pingree grove to elk grove village here..........fml

 

[99PONTIACGP]

I have a 5 mile drive. Wish I had a snowmobile.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

where's all of the snowmobile crew ?? this is what they have been asking for !

 

[Stink Star]

it would be soooo badass to have a sled and go terrorize town streets and run from cops! they would have no chance of catching you

 

[hellraiser319]

Daturbosix.... good luck, unless you got X5 and/or decent snow tires, you are in for some fun. Mine can't handle a dusting, let alone 3' of snow...lol Back to the alley it goes tonight...

Lucky bastard. My work is all physical. I'm a lumberjack/river logger and we work all around cook county. Currently I drive from Elgin to Sauk Village. Any day can be different but it's still within the vicinity of Sauk Village.

Maybe they'll cancel work. I'm sure it'll be canceled on wednesday, but not sure about tomorrow or thursday. I'll have to wait and see.
