So what? Here in the Indiana snow belt we never know how much will fall nor do I care. I own the mother of all snowblowers.
Chicago TV weatherwonks have been predicting this snowstorm for five days. Looks of serious concern have been exchanged between the weatherwonk and the gratuitous multicultural anchor team each night. There were moans and groans after broadcasting those forecast maps complete with isobars and wind chill projections.
Last week we had snow falling constantly from Friday night until Tuesday morning. Nothing too serious, just a nuisance that causes me to remove the schnee from the drive and walkways each morning.
Out here this is a condition we call 'permaflurries'.
Today is just another Sunday. It's winter. Bring it on!
The Bears are playing Tom Brady today. The field conditions will be rotten with 40mph+ north winds, as it should be this time of year.
My fireplace had been stoked since I woke up and we plan on going nowhere. The Christmas tree lights will be on.
A pizza will be baked about halftime. Copious amounts of cocktails will be consumed.
Unlike many Indiana NFL fans I still like the Bears. I notice many more Colts hats, jackets and automobille decorations displayed locally. The Bears have a chance to win today. The Colts, well, I could give a crap.
Life is much more better than good : )

Milwaukee was supposed to get 7-10 inches, with those same high winds. I was a little nervous I would lose my direct tv signal during the bears game. Unfortunately, the storm wasn't as severe in my area as anticipated and even more unfortunate I never lost my satellite reception. Thankfully I have the NFL sunday ticket and I wasn't subjected to the horrible lashing tom brady laid on the bears.
I have been considering the sat dish because Comcast Sucks®.
That Bear game was the most embarrassing flop I have witnesses in decades considering that they were 9-3. They flat out choked from the get-go.
The whole management crew needs to be shit-canned.
Be sure to check out Carl and Dan's excellent Bears blog and be sure to add your own comments, being the sports geek that you are : )

Also...be grateful you're not back here in Valpo this week.
It's pure lake effect hell.
The Great Midwest, indeed.
Thankfully, the Pack lost.
If you're thinking of ditching comcast, give att uverse a shot. We had them before we got direct tv and loved it. The only reason we changed to the dish is so I didn't have to sit in a bar every sunday to watch the bears...especially with the new addition to the family. The NFL sunday ticket is a football fans dream. Once I start a fire and mix the first bloody mary , I'm camped out in a chair from noon till 10pm on sunday.
