Midwest Blizzard Conditions Bad for Business. Snowstorm Cost Millions of Dollars.

The snowstorm expected to hit the Midwest on Tuesday will be tough on the already frazzled Midwest economy. The state of Illinois is already in sad economic shape and this might set sales taxes back even further.
The East coast has been hammered all winter and many small business have had a tough time keeping the doors open. This just opens your eyes on the many risks of owning your own business. If the blizzard conditions do hit, it may hamper the economy for several days. Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and other large mid-western cities will be a mess. I can see that snow removal might even be a huge campaigning strategy for the candidates for mayor of Chicago (like it was in the late 70's). Snow go away.
