Alright then temp has started to drop and the wind has picked up; hopefully you guys all have you essentials purchased and family is safe and hunkered down.

Keep a tap dripping to give the pipes the best chance from freezing and blowing up.

Keep the family on speed dial in case of emergency.

Throw on the Breaking Bad/Doctor Who/ER/netflix marathon and stay warm.

If anyone in the Chicagoland area needs help shoot me a call and Ill do what I can too help.

Stay safe guys.

Funny I just shot a text to the boss saying I might be taking a day off or two. Raining now. 10 tonight and dropping. With a chance of 6-10 over top of it... Will make my 45 minute commute insane if it all comes true

Fill your car's gas tank and go start it every few hours to prevent the engine block from freezing (I thought I gave that shit up when I moved from Canada).

And remember that alcohol has a very very low freezing point, so binge on vodka and you should be safe. Wait, that may not be right...

When you pull that car into garages do they ask you "is it in yet?"

Ouch...lol, at least he'd hear that in two locations then. :dunno:

I've snowblown my driveway twice and will once more before bed...hate it piling up...each time we had 3-4 on the ground and it's still coming down fast. Cleaned my car off once, will when I go back out.


Be safe all.

Windchill is -51 right now... The car didnt so much start as it choked, gasped, and begged for death before accepting its position as a vehicle. Im not looking forward to the day....

Damn guys I really do feel for you. I woke up this morning to 55 degrees outside, now it's raining like a bitch. I know the cold is coming, but not that bad. Shit when its that cold out it hurts. My friends Back in Green Bay are not happy campers either.
