I hope these videos speak for themselves, Foster St Beach, Foster and LSD, Chicago. The pic is hard to make out, but that's a 4 ft handrail with a drift well over the top. As for totals so far, who the hell knows. This storm is b**ch slapping '99 whether or not it's totals matchup.

See my above post to CS. I think it is going to get serious soon.

Just nuts out there... I know this is going to sound terrible but its really not even an enjoyable event.. I like watching the flakes fall and stack up no matter how little or big the snowfall.. this just blows around in swirls and creates next to whiteouts - Not exciting to me at all. I had a 9-10 inch snowpack in the wind tunnel and its down to pickers sticking out lol.

Can't believe I'm even saying the above but I just despise wind when it snows.

I'm the same way, I like to watch the snow falling and venture outside during the storm. I was going to today, but I opened the door up and got sandblasted in the face by a gust of wind and snow and I was like screw this and closed the door.

DON'T LEAVE US~ Says a prayer.

I'm holding on BowMe. :) Just stupid wicked out there right now. Worth the price of admission though.

I am assuming TWC met said that because of the snow - that didn't fall.

Yep, that's what I was thinking. Sucks for them, though we're in the same boat here in LAF.

Great videos Aleking, might not get as much snow as 1999 but definitely more potent.

WOW apparently there is 20:1 ratios with the snow at Midway according to Skilling..

"5" down Midway Airport-Frank Wachowski reporting 0 visibility there within the hour. It's 20 to 1 ratio snow--very fluffy!"

yeah thats been my experience with windy cold snowfall with high qpf ie gulf moisture involved

never measured ratios, but

stacks like mad
