Is 13 inches enough?

Thirteen inches of snow, of course!
Last night when I went to bed at 10:30, it looked like daylight outside because of the snow falling.

Beware! They told us 4-7 inches and they were WRONG!
Yeah, they're upping it every hour now!
Its really pretty right now snowing in Chicago. I'm excited! What a great way to end my first semester of school to a nice bit of snow! But I'm glad I'm not going out anymore today.

I haven't left at all today and I need to.
Darnit!
And if I remember correctly, this is what you bought a new outfit for?
Yes, well, we had the night from hell. The snow was incredible and, as I am sure you have heard by now, a plane crashed through the barrier at Midway airport, killing a 6 year old boy and injuring 11 other people. Horrible.
When I was in college, my mother always booked me on lower cost airlines to and from Boston - mostly Continental and Northwest. As a result, I was always flying in and out of Midway. I hated it because it is like the Flintstones airport compared to O'Hare. On top of that, the landings are usually so tough because the runways are so short. Once I started buying my own tickets, I refused to fly out of there (which stinks since Southwest does not fly out of O'Hare and they have such great prices) because I always said that one day a plane was going to overshoot the runway and end up in someone's home. In fact, there have been two other instances of this happening at Midway and the last time 45 people died.
This is one of those times that I really hate to be right.
