snow

Schools get snow days. Why don't businesses?

We've got at least 4 or 5 inches of snow already, the streets are made of calf-deep slush, traffic is heinous, public transit is all screwed up, and it's still snowing with no signs of letting up anytime soon. Granted, it's no blizzard, and I've waded through far worse, but still, getting around the city is a real bitch today, and I can't even imagine how much worse it must be for people commuting in from the suburbs.

I am so not leaving the office for lunch today. The 7-11 in the lobby will have to suffice. I like snow, but slogging through this is a pain in the ass.

About... 12 years ago? There actually was a city-wide snow day. Daley ordered all the "air raid"-type horns to go off and announced on the radio and television that everyone should go home *immediately*. It was awesome. Except for the part where the entirety of downtown was trying to get on the red line at the same time.

That's...hilarious, actually. Air raid! Snow coming! Hide!

We had snow here recently. At least, I think we did. I've not seen it for so long I think I've forgotten what it looks like. Is snow when it's 75 degrees and partly cloudy on my day off? Because we had that today.

It was horrendous.
