I have seen pictures of my friends on that side of the state and I pity for what they have been suffering. I am hoping hopefully that they could have a better weather condition for the coming days.
This article below is from ABC-NEWS:
Some forecasters said it could be the worst snowstorm the country has seen in more than 40 years. More than a foot of snow may fall on a 2,100-mile stretch from New Mexico to Maine. The National Weather Service even warned that high winds on Lake Michigan could produce waves of 25 feet, leading to coastal flooding, particularly along Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.
The storm has already snarled air traffic in Chicago and Dallas, the site of Sunday's Super Bowl. American Airlines cancelled 600 flights out of Chicago and another 900 flights at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. According to Flightaware.com, more than 6,300 flights have been cancelled nationwide so far, with the number expected to increase as the storm moves east.
Blizzard warnings are in effect for nine states with the storm expected especially to affect Oklahoma City, Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit, Des Moines, , Chicago and Milwaukee.
In Tulsa, Okla., the Tulsa World has announced Wednesday's paper will not be printed because of the storm, though the online edition will continue.
"This will be the first time in our history that we have not printed a Tulsa World," said publisher Robert E. Lorton III. "However, we wanted to make sure our employees and their families remained safe as we all try to deal with this weather."

I am so glad that snowstorm you were talking about is over. It's only been a week since then but now we are experiencing gorgeous weather with temperatures in the seventies. It's been like night and day. It was a heck of a storm and that's probably why I'm enjoying this gorgeous weather even more. I enjoyed your post.
