Chi Blizzard of 2011

I'm at school working now, but the blizzard they have been hyping up on the news has officially started...(current doppler radar image above looks pretty nasty).  It's supposed to be as bad or worse than the big Chicago Blizzard of 1967 when they got 20+ inches. They are saying it's going to be a record breaking snow for Chicago with blizzard conditions and 20 foot waves and lake flooding on Lake Michigan due to the 50mph winds we are supposed to get on Wednesday. School has been called off for tonight's classes and tomorrow morning (Wednesday). Most businesses are closing early today and are closed tomorrow. Luckily Joe is off tomorrow, and now so am I.
Joe is on the way home now, his company let them go at 3:00, but he said he probably won't get home until his usual time because things are moving so slow. uh oh....
We are getting out of class now (early) so I'm heading out.

Here are some pics from the 1967 blizzard. I'm hoping it's not this bad, but we shall see!
