"Multi-Day Dangerous, Destructive Winter Storm"

[MassHavoc]

The storm will be arriving here on Wednesday - 20-40 cm of snow.

I never used the snowblower last year, I guess its time to get it out.

cm... .CM? What the F are those... haha.

Fox Valley Mall area now up from 13.8" to 17.5" of snow.

St Louis is freaking out right now. I-44 splits the city and north of it is projecting big snow accumulation while south and east of it is big ice accumulation. I live 15 miles SE of downtown. Guess I'll be skating to work! We already have a nice glaze.

Yea my sister lives down your way, Ballwin off of 141 (woods mill rd )

She said it was pretty shitty down there.

And on a side note.... FUUUUUCCCCKKK I just remembered I have packages that are supposed to be delivered today tomorrow and wednesday. And I mean to my door by fedex, UPS, or USPS, not in a G-string.

Look at you learning to not open yourself to jokes.



We can totally tell you're lying, but good for you!



I myself have been wondering how much of this is hype, too. But it's the Chicagoland area and anyone who's lived here for a decent amount of time knows this can happen and adjusts accordingly. I got Big Flats beer, Velveeta shells and cheese and Jameson - so I should be good if I get stuck at home.

And its headed your way Sir Charles! I hope you stole a jet pack at some point in your career, in case you have to go anywhere tonight/tomorrow.



It is pretty glazed outside right now. No snow yet. They did shut down the St. Louis NGA campus though. So I get a snow day!

 

[Shantz My Pants]

Just some snow out here. Nothing spectacular. Can't get any info from the boss if we have work tomorrow. Even if he says yes, I'm not driving in a white out.

Oh, see I saw Grimsons post and considering he lives roughly 20 minutes from me, I thought that was his snow fall already today...

 

[phranchk]

Woah, they just said there's even a chance snow tornadoes. Also, ABC 7 said there's a small chance of up to 40" in a small area around Chicago. That would be insane.

You mean the Guardian project is for reals?

Snow tornado?

Do we have to head to the basement if one is headed our way?

Will the tornado sirens go off?

Yes, yes, and yes.

Fucking tornado smashed a bunch of shit 1/4 mile from my house in June.

Don't **** around when the sirens go off.





I got 2 days off work!

I was chatting with my friend, saying that work MAY tell us 2nd shifters to bail out early tonight.

As I said that, my boss calls and tells me he'll see me Thursday.

Off to get some beer!

 

[TSD]

Yeah im leaving the office at 3 today, will probably take off tomorrow.

Wish I had the option of taking tomorrow off. I have to call a hotline at 6am to see if they are still open, if so I have to drive in.

First time in the 16 years my son has been going to school they have closed the school BEFORE the storm hit.



I love Winter Storms!!! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!

 

[phranchk]

One of the newscasts today. The weatherman didn't think we'd see these actual totals, but ****, imagine if we did.

 

[phranchk]

This is really what's behind the storm

 

[R K]

wow 30 inches of snow possible. Oh this could be FUN!
