blizzard

Video of the storm. The wind is like a hurricane, but blowing snow. The snow is not really accumulating because it is blowing so hard. We can see a freeway from our room. It is barely visible through the storm, but there is almost no traffic. I think the city is pretty much shut down. They showed video of Ohare airport on the news and it was empty at 5pm. All schools and businesses in the city are closed tomorrow.
As a side note. Whenever there is a serious ice storm in San Antonio everyone says "they don't shut down the city for storms in the north." Well I can tell you, they do.
