I heard from my daughter, in Racine, that they still forcasted 16"-18" before it stops early this evening. At least this storm will miss us by about 100 miles. Thank God. Have a good day in EVS land.

He mush be in Northern IL. I'm in the Chicago 'burbs and we've only gotten about 3" so far. Hopefully we dodged the 8-12" they're predicting.

Don't complain! You could live in Tennessee (or Kentucky, or Arkansas). Twenty-four Tennesseans died last night because of tornados. We were lucky. Missed us by a few miles. Scary night to say the least. I'd take a foot of snow and stay home any day, instead of a twister taking my home! I know it's cold and the snow is blowing, but, you'll be here tomorrow along with all your family and stuff.

I agree, very sad what happened down in Tennessee last night.
