Blizzard 2011

Here is the view from our back porch. We are experiencing high winds up to 60 mph, thundersnow (flashes of light), and hugh snow drifts. We are still awaiting the heaviest snow within the next 24 hrs. The weatherman is predicting the Chicagoland area will get between 12-24 inches of snow. I was able to leave work around 4pm and went to pick up my daughter. It took me one hour to drive home which normally takes me around 30 minutes. Tomorrow I am supposed to report into work around 11am and work until 5pm. I'm really hoping Honda will cancel work. I have never seen work close before but maybe tomorrow will be a first. You know that is BAD when the Chicago office closes for bad weather. The snow plows have not been down our streets all night long and there is no signs of any cars on the road. It is truly a ghost town. The grocery and hardware stores were running out of food and winter supplies. This is the worst snow storm that I have ever seen in my lifetime. This is the 3rd worst blizzard in Chicago to date.
