There are those of us who remember the snow of ought 8. Seems there was a fella with a goat who got upset about the outcome of the World Serious, which is what we called it in them days. This was like a tournament to settle bragging rights between the Natural League players and that new bunch of teams that had just started up and included fellers on the south side who didn't have enough money to put together a uniform and the only article of clothing that most of 'em had in common was that most of 'em tended to wear stockings so they named theirselves after their sox which was as good a name as any except that you had to have a good imagination to think of them socks as bein' white. Anyway there weren't any set rules on how many games it would take to decide who was the better team so they just played games until folks stopped payin' to see them and this upset this goat guy. Don't ask me why, that is not part of this story. Now before that time Chicago was in the tropic zone which meant that it never got below 75 degrees in the shade except at night when it was pretty much shady all over the place. I am not sure what all of this had to do with the goat but it's part of the story so I'm leaving it in. Anyway this goat guy laid a curse on Chicago and said that from now on there is going to be snow and we would call it winter and some day they would invent a game and call it football and it would be ok to play football in the snow but no one could play baseball because snow was the same color as the baseball and you couldn't see it for the snow. And that is how Winter come about

Absolutely love the dipshits who are lighting up Twitter blaming the city for the motorists stranded on Lake Shore Drive. This despite the fact that the city was warning about this storm for three days, told people to stay off LSD after 4 p.m. earlier this morning, and you know, the storm is in full fucking force for the next 6-8 hours, so there isn't a helluva lot they can do.

I'm kind of enjoying the increasingly desperate reports from Roger Badesch on WGN.

Absolutely love the dipshits who are lighting up Twitter blaming the city for the motorists stranded on Lake Shore Drive. This despite the fact that the city was warning about this storm for three days, told people to stay off LSD after 4 p.m. earlier this morning, and you know, the storm is in full fucking force for the next 6-8 hours, so there isn't a helluva lot they can do.
Meatballs aren't confined to sports radio in this town...
I agree. It would've been best if they saved it until they were safely at home.

QuotePart of Wrigley Field lands on Clark Street
A section Wrigley Field's roof was blown off shortly after 6PM. Our WeatherBug camera captured the debris lying in the street earlier this evening. Police are attempting to clean up the debris.
Any chance Darwin Barney was hit by the wreckage?
Any chance we can get Snork up there for some light repair work?

No. He said that.

My (small) townhouse association has still not been plowed out. We haven't left the house since Monday at 1:30, which makes this different from any other week since I had the baby ... not at all. Strollers and car seats are annoying in the cold.

From the AP article summarizing the storm:
QuoteThe system was blamed for at least 12 deaths, including a homeless man who burned to death on Long Island as he tried to light cans of cooking fuel and a woman in Oklahoma City who was killed while being pulled behind a truck on a sled that hit a guard rail.
I guess we can update the board now. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbb34ixU5OM&feature=related)
Tuesday morning a kid on highway 67 lost control, swerved into one semi, who was then hit by another semi, crushing the car into scrap metal and killing the kid. I drove by the accident on my way to work and thought it was Just the two semis, as there was nothing resembling a car left anywhere. Yeeesh.
