The blizzard outside is absolutely astonishing. For a while there, snow was falling
up. Offhand, I'd say we have about six or seven inches right now, and the storm isn't due to let up until tomorrow afternoon. The public schools are closing tomorrow; they haven't had a snow day in years. It's a real storm, too; we had quite a bit of what
rhobike called "thundersnowing." Large swaths of Lake Shore Drive are closed, but I'm glad to hear that
lcohen made it home before that happened.
School just sent around an e-mail saying that the campus shuttle service shut down at 9 on account of several accidents, but there are still people trapped in campus buildings. Looks like they'll have to stay there overnight.
How's everyone else doing with your various storms?

I was listening on the radio and heard something about truckers trapped at a truck stop--over 200 rigs. (I think this was in Ohio or Indiana.)
Hoping you are warm and well-supplied and that there are no power failures.
It is as I feared. No A/C. I remember being shocked when we visited my husband's grandmother in the Pittsburgh area. Not only was her apartment not air-conditioned, neither was the pizza joint we went to the first night we were in town.
Then again, you have a shorter summer and lower humidity than we do. There's a reason everything moved very slowly in the South pre0air conditioning. It would have bordered on suicidal to do otherwise in the summertime.
