Christine, Looks like big problems for the western suburbs of Chicago too. I left the house at 1:30 for a 2 PM appointment in Naperville. It was starting to snow lightly. By 3 PM it was snowing, blowing, and miserable. It took me an hour to get back home in bumper to bumper traffic - both directions! Now the wind is howling outside my window. Both airports have closed, probably until Thursday. Many offices closed early as well. They mention the '67 storm as a model and that was a doozie. Stay safe and take some pictures. Regards, Bob S.
