The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Chicago, which sends every meteorologist in the city into a tailspin, including Amy Freeze.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN CHICAGO HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING…WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM CST /7 PM EST/ THIS EVENING TO 6 PM CST /7 PM EST/ FRIDAY.
LIGHT SNOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY BY THIS EVENING AS A STRENGTHENING STORM SYSTEM ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BEGINS TO TRACK NORTHEAST. HEAVY SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING…AND THEN WILL TAPER TO LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES FRIDAY AFTERNOON. STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS WILL RANGE FROM 5 TO 7 INCHES FROM EVANSTON TO MORRIS TO PONTIAC TO 7 TO 11 INCHES FROM GIBSON CITY TO FOWLER INDIANA WHERE LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS CLOSER TO A FOOT ARE POSSIBLE.
Depending on where you live, they are predicting 5 to 11 inches of snow tonight, which is quite a bit of the white stuff, but why must every weather event turn into “STORM WATCH 2008!”?
It’s the meteorologist who cried wolf. I never know whether to stop at the store for toilet paper and milk or just ride it on with what’s in the fridge!

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve participated in the Postie Carnival, but Lisa over at My Thoughts, Ideas and Ramblings inspired me to enter the current edition by asking Posties to submit their best post of 2007.
If you’d like to join the Postie Carnival, there’s a few instructions.
- Be an active Izea Postie.
- Email a link to your blog and your favorite post to posties@inbox.com
- Submit your post by 6pm tonight!
- Place a post, like this one, on your blog giving everyone the details of the carnival.
Remember to visit Lisa’s site tomorrow to find out what I think is my best post of 2007! Can you guess?

I love participating in Skeet’s Good Stuff, and since the guidelines have been broadened to include good stuff from our daily lives, I thought I’d share that I got a job!
Okay, not a real full-time with benefits job, but a one day temp job entering receipts into Quicken so that the company can start on their taxes. Not exciting or particularly lucrative, but it’s a start.
I’ve also made some changes to my resume and got a great reference from my former boss, all of which will hopefully result in potential employers lining up and throwing money my way.

I’ve decided to participate in the Bloggy Giveaway, and all you have to do is leave a comment to win a festive bag full of Valentine’s Day treats.
I can’t tell you what is in the festive bag because…I haven’t purchased anything, yet. I can tell you that there is a good possibility that it will contain something chocolate and something pink and be worth approximately $25.
I will choose the winner on February 3rd and the package will arrive with plenty of time to enjoy on
the big day.
Just promise me you’ll come back to visit after the Bloggy Giveaway if you win? I don’t want to feel used and abused around Valentine’s Day!
