huffington post talking about how folks in the chi gave this blizzard the :yeshrug:

basically the total opposite of the clusterfukk that happened in NYC which wasn't even that severe.

Midwest Smacked By Historic Snowfall, Basically Shrugs It Off
The Huffington Post | By Joseph Erbentraut

    Now this is what a blizzard really looks like.

    Less than a week after meteorologists botched their forecast of a blizzard that was anticipated to hit New York City with “historic” snowfall, causing the city to preemptively shut down, another winter storm slammed into the Midwest on Sunday. It brought actual historic amounts of snowfall with considerably less hype.

    In Detroit, 16.7 inches of snow were recorded at Metro Airport, making for the city’s third biggest snowstorm on record. In Plymouth, Indiana, in the far northern part of the state, 19.6 inches of snowfall was reported during the storm.

    And in Chicago, 19.3 inches of snow fell Sunday into Monday morning, making for the city’s fifth largest blizzard in its recorded history.

    Unlike what happened in New York, Chicago's public transit system remained operational (though with some delays), no travel bans were put into effect and, as far as we know, no kale shortages were reported.


    The storm has since headed to the Northeast. Here's what the historic snowfall looked like in Chicago and elsewhere:

but the main streets are clear?

the main streets were cleared last night. I went to the gas station around midnight with no issue. like I said, I cleared from my garage to the end of the alley. I'm only one block off a busy street, so as long as I make it there, I'm good to go.

I also saw a plow going down my street this afternoon as well.
