We have about 2 inches of snow. Temps are near 0 (F), so the snow is very dry and light. Winds are 30 to 50 miles per hour. So basically it is white out conditions outside, despite the fact that the snowfall is very small.
I left the house about 1:30pm to pick up Melen in Chicago. Normally about 45-50 minute drive each direction. Arrived back home about 5:30pm. Just couldn't see the roads. Interstate 94 was a sheet of ice and packed with traffic and traffic accidents. Ended up on the toll road and side streets because I didn't want to sit.
