Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Others are Experiencing a Real Blizzard. Midwest Snow Fall Might Be a Record.

The Snowstorm in Illinois right now is brutal. Whiteout conditions are being caused by 40mph winds and lots of snow. As I look out my window, it seems like this is the real deal. We skated by for many years of just missing the "so called BIG ONE". This might be the storm we talk about 30 years later.
I remember the big snow falls of the late 70's. 1977 through 1979 was a great time to be a kid. The snow was always deep and sometimes would drift up to the gutters of the house. We would build snow forts, tunnel a deep cave, and even build thrones out of the never ending snow. Snow days (school being canceled) was the icing on the cake! That meant an all day snow fest outside with the neighbor kids, followed up by hot chocolate (of course with marshmallows). Oh, to be a kid again! Chicago public schools just canceled school for tomorrow for the first time in over a decade. I would imagine most businesses will be closed at least until mid-morning as well. Go make a snow angel and act like a kid, it might just be a little fun.
