Shocked that schools aren't closing!

One more thing, for people who don't know how to drive in the snow, we have a great public transit system. Why not take Metro or Metrobus?

Yep, former Chicagoan here. That said, Chicago has sturdy plows and salt at the ready and knows how to deal from 150+ years of experience with weather like this. It's just not as routine here to get snow, so the municipalities and agencies aren't always as prepped.

That's funny - I am from Chicago, too, and seem to recall the same type of driving I see around here. Granted, our roads were cleared quicker, but until that happened, I saw just as many accidents, stuck cars, bad traffic and insane drivers as I see here. I also lived in NYC suburbs and the driving was just as bad until the roads were clean.
