Default Why I Canceled My Morning Appt.

For you Northern folks who may be used to this kind of weather, remember, I live in Los Angeles

Pic #1 shows the conditions at my house - 60 degrees and partly cloudy.

Things started looking bad once I got off the freeway. . .

The last picture was still 10 miles from my destination.

I can see why .
I went through Washington DC years ago and they had 3/4 inch of snow the day before and it was gone almost instantly .
There was still damaged cars every where and most people did not go to work.
If you are in an area where most are not used to snow you made a great decesion . Tomorrow should be better.

Looks like a fine Chicago day to me.

What's the problem, Jeff?

Having lived in northern Michigan and Canada I have to say you have been in la-la land too long. I have walked to the bus stop with stronger flurries than that.

It does take some gear/equipment to work comfortably in that kind of weather. It's an adventure.
