I don't remember which resolution I used. I'll get some more pics but I'm pretty sure less than an hour north of Blue I'll have way more snow than he does.

According to my mom, the interstates in 5 states have been closed and the plows have been called off. Also she says that in Chicago the police have started riding snowmobiles because their cars are useless.

Post by: BlueBlaster on Wednesday, February 02, 2011, 02:16:49 AM: Yup thats true. But i havent seen a snowmobile police since I live in the residential areas. They're more around large intersections riding around.

Id like to see those photos from up north :D

I've got more very professionally taken phone pictures. It took me like 20 minutes to get out of my house though cuz we're blocked in. I couldn't see the garage door on the house across the street (snow drift was about 9'). We're not looking like a snow plow is coming any time soon because I'm on the edge of the county and I'm really hoping I don't have school tomorrow cuz I don't wanna drive in this shit.

The news says we got 18" but the least amount I can find anywhere is on the street, where it was a few inches below my waist. The drifts are up to like 9' fall. Pretty ridiculous. My sister lost her boot on my deck (not out in the yard where it could be anywhere, just on the deck) and it took me 15 minutes to find it. Pictures later, I got em on my phone and I'm not in the mood to send 4000 picture messages to my email address quite yet.

*EDIT*

Blizzard is an understatement.
