im in Springfield Illinois and am sitting here watching the snow and ice mixture coming down , everything is closed and no one is to be out on the streets after 5 oclock tonight , omg the mailman was just here (3 hours late) and i asked him why he just doesnt go home and he said they were told to stay out till all thee mail was delivered!! the surrounding little towns are with out power and ours are blinking !! they said the wind is so bad the wires are banging into other wires and the poles and are knocking the power out , i think this is going to be a longggg nite

I am 100 miles south of Chicago. Won't be going anywhere today or tomorrow. Our daughter was suppose to leave on her honeymoon Thursday morning from Chicago. That is canceled. Not sure when she will be going. Hopefully Friday morning.

That mid-west storm is on it's way to New England and we will see it start in the wee hours of Wednesday for a 24 hour duration. We had a storm today that put another 10" on top of the 3' that is already on the lawn. The storm tonight will bring about 18" more, so we are technically buried. At least I will be getting all snow, but about 30 miles south of here, they are going to get sleet and freezing rain.
I made a quilt top this past weekend, put the borders on today, and am cutting out another quilt tonight, so I can sew all day tomorrow and watch the snow come down. I'm not attempting to go anywhere and that includes work!
