should be noted that Mother Nature was kind enough to reinforce the notion that a SHM in Chicago, during the middle of January, may not be the most prudent decision. As a matter of fact, without naming posters, several of you need to call Chicago O'Hare and remind them that it's impossible for them to cancel flights, after all it's not the North Pole for gosh sakes :)

DES MOINES, Iowa - In a scene stretching from the Upper Midwest through New England on Wednesday, a broad storm front forced the cancellations of hundreds of flights, the delays of hundreds more, while roads fared little better, with whiteout conditions and 50 mph wind gusts slowing or stopping traffic.
At Chicago's O'Hare International airport, some 200 flights were canceled Wednesday morning. Arriving flights were seeing delays averaging two hours. "
