A large chunk of the US stretching from Oklahoma City through Chicago to Update New York are paralyzed due to the blizzard that began when warm air from the Gulf of Mexico clashed with cold air racing down from Canada. A perfect mixture for the heavy snows and blizzard conditions.
Chicago closed schools for the first time in years. O’Hara Airport won’t open until tomorrow (Thu), and Lakeshore Drive was shut down as more than a foot of snow fell on the Windy City.
Even worse, a band of freezing rain south of the snow has broken tree branches and caused widespread power outages due to snapped electrical lines.
For the most part, it looks like the storm has moved out into the Atlantic so now begins the process of digging out. Good luck to all of you living in the region, stay safe and stay warm.
