    Melting to probably May!!

    I live in Mpls and the storm just missed us. It is freezing here too, with windchill -20 but at least we don't have all that snow. We got pounded in Dec and are still trying to dig out from it.

    Be careful out there when clearing the snow.

    Chicago public school never cancels class.Today and tomorrow they are. Last time they cancelled was in 1999. It is being said that this is the third worst snow blizzard in the history of Chicago.
