I wake up today, weather calls for cloudy and cold conditions. I look out my school's window and it's a blizzard out there. I just took a ruler and we have 3.5" out here in Bolingbrook. SNOW SUCKS!

its really not as bad as it could be. when I left school last week (spring break WHOOOOO) there was still snow piled up a couple feet high. so an inch here really isn't all that big of a deal to me.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

Winter doesn't officially end until Mar. 21st so expect snow in March just like every other year in the Chicago area.

This is that time of year where the seasons start to change but winter can sometimes lash back.

Only 50 days people. :lol:

I'm on the side of winter sucks. I only like winter if there's enough snow to ski in, or get a snow day.

Well, March acually has some of the biggest snowstorms that Chicago has ever seen.

Be glad that this is a clipper system. If it was a gulf system we could be sitting here with 12-15 inches right now.

Outlook for march is much the same. The next few days have snow forcast in them. The rest of the month, we're stuck in a pattern so don't expect any really warm days till at least the 20th. Even then any warm days wont last. Spring might be arriving late this year.

Face it, if you live in the upper midwest like most of us do, It snows here... if you dont like it. The only other alternative is too move.

Most people that live up here hate snow. We get all those Illinois folk that flock up here to ski. :lol:

For me it isn't really the snow, but the cold... I HATE the cold! :x

It's snowing out here again in Lake County. Actually, a little bit of hail, too. Anyways, I'm a speed demon when it comes to driving. I won't be suprised when my transmission falls off one day...

No, not good weather for driving. Or for a Frappachino. (Ok, that's my feminine side...the ladies love it 8) ) J/K I actually drove around for 20 mins. looking for a Starbucks. I know, I have a crazy addiction.

Kinda like blowing $.75 or more on a Krispy Kreme doughnut, when you can go to the bakery and get one for a quarter...

But a Krispy Kreme is worth it!! :D :D
