I've noticed that Freepers from the Midwest rarely start urgent weather threads.
It's SNOW people. No school on Monday. Yippee!
One thing to remember about the East Coast is that even Washington, DC has more LARGE snowfalls than Chicago, believe it or not.
Chicago on average gets much more snow per winter than DC (and DC can at times go all winter basically with no snow), but the incidence of really big 18+ inch storms is actually higher for DC; more moisture avaliabilty. Chicago gets its snow typically in a lot of smaller storms.
