What will you do differently for today's snow storm commute?

[Milwaukee City]

It took me five hours to get from Downtown Milwaukee to West Loop, the next day it took me an hour to get home!!! Next time I come down I'll just take the train when it's snowing during rush-hour.

If you rely on driving or taking the bus more than a few miles to work you might as well call in tomorrow morning. Trust me.

..that is of course if it keeps snowing and sticking. It appears like it might have let up!

And you can put it on the BOOOAAARRRDDD YES! Another storm misses Orland and Tinley Park once again! LOL! True we are caked in an inch of ice now, but at least it isn't a foot of snow like the northern burbs. So that makes 5 storms in a row in the past month where northern and western burbs were burried, and people SE of Archer Ave are sitting here wondering... "What the hell is the big deal? What snow?" We now have 2 inches of snow on the ground in Orland and 1 in Tinley. BTW, I was watching the rain snow line on the radar imagry and scary enough is that most of the night, the rain snow line bounced right around I-55 or Archer Ave all night long just as I said it would yesterday. There is something about that area that causes that to usually be the divider. Maybe it has something to do with all the industry along I-55. I have no idea, but down here on the southside, we practically got nothing.

LOL! I was waiting to see you gloat!
Still, I'm not sure I'd rather have 3 inches of frozen rain on my driveway, versus 8 inches of normal snow.
