SNOW!!!!!
Once again, the media is shocked to discover it snows in the Upper Midwest in February:
- A winter storm warning for up 6 to 10 inches of snow has been issued for Lake and McHenry Counties, and a winter weather advisory for other Chicago-area counties has been extended into Wednesday as a strong storm made travel hazardous and grounded hundreds of flights.
The National Weather Service has extended its winter weather advisory in Cook, DuPage, Kane and DeKalb counties until 6 a.m. Wednesday, and has upgraded Lake and McHenry counties to a winter weather warning, also until 6 a.m. Wednesday.
Next up, summer is hot, water is wet, and the sun rises in the east.
By the way, if the city can tow your car off a snow route, it's gone already.

I am scared. Snow in Chicago? WTF, next thing we know we will have to do some police work, lock people up, grab some bad guys.
Naw, just joking.
You're right about the City towing the cars within ten seconds of a snowfall, SCC, but they're in no hurry to salt or plow.
Spent the day on the northwest side and never saw a plow or salter on Pulaski, Kedzie, Kimball, California, Belmont, Montrose, Lawrence... during the first two hours of the snowfall. We made a game of it, we were looking for them, but we never saw or even heard one. Never saw evidence one had been there, either. Not til nearly 1400.
For the serfs, crossing a street was suicidal, driving was treacherous, visibility was nil, but I betcha anywhere Rahm went today, he was preceded by a fleet of plows and salt trucks.
Sometimes it gets too hot on the beach near the cool water.
Remember when we were kids and it used to snow in November and go all the way thru March? Even a few Opening Days that had snow flurries. This snow was pretty heavy and wet, but jeez, it wasn't Snowmageddon.
Fcuk the media! One channel's commercial say "Breaking news on the snow update at 10!" WTF No wonder we are going broke in this state if a snow update is breaking news. They couldn't find a story on the corruption or waste in government, but SNOW !
BTW How come there is no big uproar on Bush causing the gas to close to $5.00? Oh that's right they are stilling trying to find a way to pin it on Bush. But in the State of the Union OB said that we are pumping more oil then ever. Where is it?
it is still SNOWING, light snow now but still snow....
..when I was a kid PJ Hoff on channel 2 would have Mr Yellencuss wave at us from the tv and say its gonna snow tomorrow. That was the extent of an early sixties weather report.

Yeah, those were the days when we used to go out and have snow-ball fights and skitch (skeetch for you southsiders!) on the back of school buses! These days, the kids have NO idea of the fun we used to have...!

If you go to the city's website they have a link to a program where you can actually track the plows. It was fun to watch them bunched up in areas and speculate who lives there. Check it out....
Was this a bad snow? not really
here in eastern lake county wasn't bad as storms go
cause to be careful? sure but not to the point it was dramatize about.
As for where's the oil? going to china and india like all the resources go
Yeah, he's pumping more oil than ever. Pumping it right to China who has no oil of it's own and must depend on the U.S. of A. for it's supply. And Obama can't refuse because China is buying the U.S. debt paper.
And don't let them snooker you. Gasoline is high because gasoline futures are being bid high in the commodities market. Watch the movie "Trading Places" starring Dan Akroyd and Eddie murphy and you'll get some idea of how the game is played.
Every year it snows here. Every year the media interviews people on the streets and in the elements. Every year its one person after another....."Oh its terrible" "I can't wait till its gone" "Its too cold"... Blah fucking blah. Please do me a favor and move elsewhere then...phft.

It's a euphemism for "sticking in Americans' asses".
Only got about 3 inches where I live. And they led the news for two days with the impending snowstorm. No one with ties to Obama got shot I guess.
Re: Fcuk the media! [...]
Start your own media, change the channel or turn the tv off.
Weather needs to get real again, snow in November til March as mentioned before. None LiBeral weather we need ongoing massive dumps.
EVERYBODY...PANIC!!!
"...I got three inches where I live..."
Come to where I live, I can guarantee you more.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
You can pump all the oil you want, but you need refineries.
The sissy liberals have determined that refineries are too icky.
