Major snow storm heading towards Chicago suburbs

But... SNOW DAY!

Snow day in my district, too. It's been a long time since they've called off the evening before a storm like this.

I'm actually supposed to go to a professional conference near the airport tomorrow. I'm not sure how this is going to work out. I'm going to have to play it by ear, I think.

We’re expecting 6-10” here in the next 36 hours. Even the hardcore, never cancel schools have declared a snow day for tomorrow (our school hasn’t officially notified us yet but I can imagine any way we’ll have it and rumor is it’s cancelled just haven’t gotten the official call yet). Bit of a bummer since tomorrow is winter homecoming but sleeping in is good too

Our district has been known to be the only one open during snowstorms when every district around us has closed. My ds was starting to get twitchy thinking he'd have school but we finally got the call about 6.

DH and his business partner decided to close their offices tomorrow so the employees were really happy about that!

Good luck--that storm system is staying just north of us...for now...hopefully we can avoid another storm like Monday when it snowed all day long and cause major traffic headaches (and a 70 car pileup on the interstate). We're quite happy with the 5" we already have on the ground, we don't need more!

I hope the hype is wrong!

They are calling for us to get 10-14 inches in SW MI. All our local schools have already called off for tomorrow, which is absolutely unheard of here. They have never ever called off school before any snow actually appeared before.

We are all thrilled to have a snow day tomorrow! We haven’t had one yet this school year.

Same here. I think there's one district that hasn't closed but I haven't seen the latest list. My kids' school had a scheduled half day so they called off. After their announcement, the other districts followed suit. What I'm really amazed at is that the local community college has closed all of their campuses already. That never happens. (Also SW MI). DH is thinking about working from home but won't make the decision until the morning. We're in the path of 6-10", with estimates being close to 13" by Sunday.

Stay safe & warm northern peas!

We have had three dustings that have left us with about one inch of snow each time One in December, January, and February each.  I am loving this warm weather for a normally colder climate.

We've had enough snow fall here for the city to declare a snow emergency for the weekend. That means no parking in the street. I know there are several houses in my neighborhood that won't follow that. DH came home early and just in time. His usual route got shut down due to multiple accidents.

It's been snowing, constantly, here all day. My husband is a freight driver and is having a really difficult time on some of the county roads. A couple of them are so bad, he said if he has to stop he will be done. He delivers to a lot of trailer factories and such in Amish country. He has seen quite a few buggies out in this mess. He said some of the poor horses are barely able to pull the buggies.
