SnOMG! Blizzard! Part 3

We woke up this morning to about 19.5 inches on the ground with HUGE drifts and its STILL coming down. It took Joe 3 hours to get home yesterday from the suburb where he works. I got home quickly on the train, but for my friends who take the bus, one of them was stuck on Lakeshore Drive for 6 hours in the bus! There was an accident and then that backed up traffic, everyone left downtown early trying to get home. She ended up taking 4 different buses and then walking a mile in the snow only to get home at midnight! They closed Lakeshore Dr. last night but tons of cars were stuck. Here's a short video we found on You Tube that someone took this morning of the drive (below). Note all the cars still stuck! People were stuck in their cars for 12 hours! They got everyone out at 5:30 this morning! Nuts!
We are staying home today, school and work is closed. Pretty much the whole city is shut down. I'm going to take the dogs out since Louie wants to go play. We'll see how this goes!
