Yeah. That's right. My city has been paralyzed. The hype on all the news stations is incredible. I keep reading headlines like "A Historic Storm!"; "The Storm of the Century!" and it's crazy!
I know some states have already been hit, and the reports are flowing in from all over the country. This thing is supposed to be nasty, if you understand.
Any stories? School closings, being stranded, that sort of thing? Here's one for me.
I go to school smack downtown in Chicago, and they let us out of classes early (1:00 PM, Central) so that we could all go home and not get stuck in the city. There are bulletins on the news and online warning people -- "hey. You know that whole 'traveling' thing? Stop doing that by 4PM. No. Seriously. Or you will die" .. but in fewer words.
When I walked out of my building and onto the main street, across the plaza .. the wind was already buffeting, and the snow coming down. I don't think my school was the only place to be letting people out early. There were a lot of people on the "L" home, rushing to batten down the proverbial hatches.
I'm back home, on my laptop .. hoping my friends in Indiana and closer to the lakeshore don't get axed in the face by lake-effect snow.
So that's my story. I might collect pictures tomorrow if I don't have school, and the way they're talking? Sounds likely.
>:D
MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR GOD!
