    What's the #1 worst snowstorm? I have never been to that region, let alone Wisconsin. Hopefully, I will in the future.

    We are suppose to get hit here on this side of the lake too. I'm about 20 miles from Lake Michigan in Southwest Michigan. I am really beginning to hate that lake effect snow. I think when I retire someday I'll move to Arizona.

    We are suppose to get 10" here. Right now it's sleeting. I have about 1/4" of ice build up on my truck richt now. I hate the thought of driving home from work this afternoon in this stuff.

    it's snowin like a motherpucker here in illinois - left work early or i wouldn't have made it home at all. several highways around here have been shut down due to whiteout conditions. winds blowing, snow should be around 11" by the time it's all said & done. be safe everyone.
