Hopefully the Mods will let this one slide.

MSN is reporting places on the East coast have gotten as much as 3' of snow in a day. I don't believe it image show us some pics when you have the time and I hope that all of you are playing it safe in it if you got dumped on.

    Maybe their internet is down?

    I'm in Chicago, so all we saw today was temps in the 40s and the snow from last few days was melting.

    I have family on Long Island that are still digging out. I have friends in Conn. that are still trying to get home. I have friends in Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod that are trying to get their power back. It was bad.

    36 today with steady 25 mph winds with gusts up to 50 mph here just outside of the appropriately named Windy City.
    We've gotten like 11" (that's inches) total this season. Living in the Midwest in the Winter time has been very manageable the last few years oddly enough.

    I hope all that got dumped on over the weekend are with power, safe and healthy. Think Spring! image

    Fairly mild here in ND. Freezing rain Saturday night, high winds and 8 inches of snow Sunday morning. Snowed most all Sunday with wind gusting into the 50's.

    There are a lot of myths about the weather in Chicago.

    One myth is that it snows a ton in the winter. Not true. Chicago's avg. is 38" a year, which is more than New York (27"), but less than Boston, Hartford, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Denver, Minneapolis, etc.... and isn't even close to the upstate NY cities (Buffalo, Rochester) which get 90+ inches on avg. As you go further east along the Great Lakes, the cities get a lot more snow just based on geography. Link.

    Another myth is that Chicago is a very windy city. It even has that nickname. When you're walking around downtown among the tightly packed skyscrapers, you do feel the wind being pushed through sometimes. But the reality is that average wind speeds are the same, or lower, than cities that you never really think of as being windy - like Dallas, Cleveland, Boston, Kansas City, etc. Link.

    I think these myths come from the fact that Chicago is a really big city... historically the second-largest city in the U.S. And it has one of the busiest airports in the world, through which countless domestic and international flights connect. So when a snowstorm drops 2 feet, as it did a couple years back, it's all over the national news for days. Whereas a huge snowstorm burying Buffalo or Detroit doesn't have the same effect on the same number of people so the media doesn't talk about it as much.

    I think you said you're in Chicago secondrepublic, right?
    Come just 30 miles E. from the Southern tip of LM...it's like it's a different world than what weather Chicago is having sometimes, and all because of which way the wind is blowing off the Lake.

    Yes - I've noticed that. Over in New Buffalo or the other Michigan coastal towns opposite Chicago, it can be a different world weather-wise.
