For what it's worth, we were supposed to get 4" to 6" between last night and this morning and, as I look out my window, I see nothing but clear streets and sidewalks. The only place the snow stuck was the rooftops. So I feel bad for all those folks whose flights out of O'Hare and Midway were canceled in anticipation for Snow-ma-geddon 2012, and hope that your storm turns out to be much ado about nothing, too.
