[QUOTE="WoodsRider, post: 159258, member: 16545"] I grew up in Seattle and went to school in Ellensburg. Moved to Texas in '91, got married and moved to Chicago in '98. The three big snowstorms I remember in Seattle were November of '78, November of '85 and December of '90. Those were nothing compared to what Chicago gets. Our first winter there we received 2 feet of snow on January 1st and 2nd of '99. I was semi-prepared, but my wife, the Texan, freaked out. Luckily both vehicles have 4-wheel drive. Our second winter there was very mild with warmer temps. and very little snowfall. Last winter was a doozy. We lived 60 miles south of the city in Bourbonnais. I had to commute into Elk Grove Village when I was in town. If it snowed, It would take at least three hours. I used to count the number of vehicles, stuck on the shoulder or median, on I-57 between exit 315 and I-80, approximately 30 miles. The record was 47 one day last December. We went skiing in Tahoe early in January and there was more snow in my back yard than on the slopes. The best advice I can give you is to buy a snow blower and insulated coveralls. [/QUOTE]
