I should have worked from home today. I take Metra to the Loop and it was clear this morning.

One would think that being a weatherman I would know better and stay home.... one would think. hahaha

I just hope the BNSF isn't delayed going back to the burbs; and that Pace can get me to my house.

I'm working from home as well...
Here's a shot from earlier. We've had about 6 more inches since. I've already done the drive once.
This photo is looking up into the cul-de-sac from my front door.

This Global Warming is something, huh?

Here in SOCAL, we are having a very wet, very cold winter.

What's up with that?

It actually got up to 64 today at my office - I wanted to duck out for a while to drive around with the top down, but couldn't get away.

I know what you mean by the drive... I remember once when I lived in Lincoln Park and worked in DesPlaines (still work there) it was a 16 mile trip one way. During one of these heavy snows it took me almost 3 1/2 hours to get to work... only to find that we were closed... then another 3 or so on the way home... over 6 hours in the car and a half tank of gas used I was ready for a cold one ! Chicago in the snow sucks big time . Now I drive the opposite way... 60 miles west and it averages 60 minutes from parking lot to home. Same as my 16 mile trip! Even the snow days going west are not that bad. It's all I-90 so it's pretty smooth sailing.
