WRONG!!!
We are in the midst of a genuine blizzard. At this moment, Wednesday at 9:30 am, the official Chicago (O’Hare Field) total is 19.5 inches. However, it is still snowing intensely right now. The latest reports say that this is the last band of snow from this weather system. Unfortunately, I live only a few blocks from Lake Michigan in Glencoe, and there are reports that we could continue to receive “lake effect” snow all day. Additionally there could be wind gusts up to fifty miles an hour and the temperature could drop anywhere from zero to ten below.
I took the dogs for a walk a little while ago. It was incredible...for them and for me. They had the time of their lives and I was huffing and puffing trying to walk through the four foot+ drifts. The only people I saw were a few other “die hard” dog owners.
Over the years, we have realized that it is not good business practice to discuss religion or politics with our clients. It’s a “no-win” situation. As a result of this most recent set of circumstances, we have decided to add “weather prognostication” to this category. In fact we’re toying with the idea of making the following our new tagline....
