Yes, reports here are that 1,000 cars got stuck in the jam on
northbound Lakeshore Drive. Tow trucks and plows are clearing the
mess now. There was also a jam and abandoned cars on southbound LSD
reported at 47th street. It's still closed now.
58,000 without power now, 178,000 have had power restored.
Sun is shining in the western suburbs now (11 AM).

I've been following updates from a friend in Chicago, whose husband
was stuck in traffic for 11 hours. He left work at 3pm, and from 5 pm
to 4am, he was stuck in snowy gridlock on LSD near North Ave. No sign
of city plows, assistance or rescue of any kind. If it weren't for
the residents of 1440 N Michigan, who rescued several stranded
motorists, he might still be out there. He waited in their lobby,
trying to catch a cab until 7am, then struck out towards Clark (Tyrone
the doorman had given him his hat!) to catch a bus home...
Snow has turned to freezing rain here. Ick.

It was expected to start at 3p, but it started a half hour early. Schools
closed at 2p & they've already called a snow day for tomorrow. Last snowday
in Chicago was 1999. We could get anywhere from 10 to 2 feet of snow. Some
are claiming we're going to get 2-3 inches per hour. Worst time will be 9p
to 5am. Snowmobiles have been sent to the fire and police departments for
rescue capability. We're under a blizzard warning until tomorrow at 3p. The
winds are really starting to pick up. I have a feeling the winds will be
the worst part of the storm; Lake Michigan waves are supposed to be
enormous--I won't be able to get down there to photograph them.
Since we have a snow day tomorrow, I'll be free to try for some pictures.
My big worry is power--sure hope it doesn't go out because I only have a
snort or two of scotch in the house. We're having brats and baked beans for
dinner. May make some carrot cake. And a movie for sure.
Wish us luck! :-)
Big cheers, Christine from Chicago
