Um, ya, so Mr. Finlandia...I just SKATED to my mailbox...no fucking joke whatsoever. My mailbox has a solid 3/4 of an inch of ice on it. The road has the same plus about an inch or two of sleet/near-ice on top of the solid ice base layer. We aren't going anywhere, which means Lambert Air Port is shut down so the Avs didn't even get here, and the Blues are being responsible anyways and not asking 20,000 people to risk life and limb to drive to a hockey game.
For the record, I am in Belleville, IL which is 15 miles southeast of downtown St. Louis. Everything NW of the city got some snow and is about to get ice like we have. And the ice here is far from over. I expect even more on the ground tomorrow AM.

The guy was standing right near the Arch and downtown St Louis got very little sleet... they were saying 25 miles west was all good then it was just going to be feet of snow. But St Louis was in a "dry pocket". I guess if its bad that close then it makes sense to shut down the game.\

Maybe the guy was really in a studio next to a green screen...just saying, lol. I can assure you there is plenty of ice all over town. Proof: they shut down a DoD facility that seats 6,000 workers who do a VERY important job

I'm supposed to call in the morning if I have to come into work. Anyone else might have to go into work tomorrow or am I just the unlucky fellow?

Got a recorded call from mayor of aurora urging people to stay off the streets as Aurora is expecting "minimum of 20 inches".

Anyone else get any thundersnow? Pretty strange, hard to tell where the lightning comes from due to reflection off all the snow.

I'd rather hike right now the 15 miles to my work, then even attempt to drive my manual Nissan in this kind of weather.
Actually, I think I'm gonna start walking now.

Just hit me as well.
I have a 2 foot high snow drift blocking my garage. No way am I going to be able to shovel that shit out in time for work, let alone get on any major road.
US-20 is supposedly shutdown its so bad.
