We live in Chicago area too. Just hope the electric doesn't go out so I can keep sewing. Just think of all I can get done without the guilt of not going to work. I work for a school bus company - no school no work. Sounds good to me.

We had ice yesterday and my husband said it started snowing about 6 this morning the weather guys say we could get as much as 20 inches but they think that will go south. Good.my kids in Wichita area want the moisture. They only had small amounts of rain and no snow yet.

We live south of Detroit and expecting 8.8 inches but sleet and ice before! Glad we are not getting 15 inches I could worry about my sewing room roof caving as it was a add on to the house and was a enclosed deck years ago! DH said it will be fine but may take my Bernina 830 out tonight!

This could be fun.
This could be fun.
One daughter still lives up by South Bend but I don't think she could get here this time. It's supposed to be worse between here and there.
Stay warm and safe everyone!
We are having our second round of freezing precipitation right so I am concerned for the trees here.
I went up to my sewing room for a few hours since we still have power. I thought that was time better spent than cooking. :lol:

Well, it's almost Tuesday Feb 1st, 2 o'clock in the afternoon here in Oklahoma City, OK. The blizzard started here last night and the snow has stopped falling but the wind is still howling! I'm very content however eating my chicken noodle soup I just made, 4 quilt blocks I have completed the FMQ on, and reading all the comments on the quilting board. I say, Let It Snow!

We have been getting it since early this morning. Hard to tell how much we have got so far. The wind is blowing so hard and drifting it. I have cleaned the deck off 3 times so we can get out if need to. So know from that we have had at least 9 inches and it is still coming down. They said on noon news to expect 9 to 15 inches more. Glad we are stocked up on everything.
