Well, it's official ... they just closed down unincorporated areas of Lake County to non-essential traffic. Only Emergency Vehicles and Gov Vehicles (Plows and Dept. of Transportation) allowed on roads.

Found link. (Thanks Snappy D!)

When the hundreds of pounds of salt doesn't work, the mill breaks out a Bobcat with a power brush.

I know. In your mind you're still 19 years old, then you look in the mirror and go, "WTF?"

Hope you have enough food to last till the snow storm ends. Just think about all the OT you will have, as no one will make it to the mill.

Well after a few years of holding out I broke down and bought a blower today. 24", 180cc, two stage Craftsman. Worked pretty well, but still worn out. That wind will beat you up, and its creating 2ft drifts out here. Got the driveway blown as well as the sidewalk and street. Don't know if I'm going back out tonight, it is dropping FAST and the wind is picking up.

Looks downright calm there.

Just can't beat a two stage snowblower in this weather.

It's official, work called and said we're closed tomorrow, love that I work for a company that puts employee safety before the almighty dollar!

.45 ACP Federal 230 Grain FMJ, 100 Round Value Pack (Maroon Box), $38.77/box @ Schererville Walmart (Rt30 and 41)
About ten or twelve boxes remaining about 1030 this morning.
.

scored a couple of the 45 last week. the must have got another shipment.

Holy hell, it ain't pretty out there. I drove from CP to Merrillville Ace Hdw and got some oil, went to Family Express and got gas, and went to Aldi for half and half, potato chips, and bacon. Saw a Dodge Charger on chrome spoke dubs stuck in the oncoming lane on south Broadway.

ran to walgreens by the hospital, that road is an effing mess... people in their little front wheel drives getting stuck in drifts. fukwits.

So, is that like marshal law? what's the legality of it?

Getting worse here.

Those of us that have worked out at the mills KNOW to keep several days worth of canned food in one of our lockers in case we were to get snowed in. It also works for those forced doubles as well.

I think it's more of a "Please don't go out so that we don't have to put our lives in danger to come rescue you." I don't see what they could do to enforce it. The link that LH provided pretty much confirms this ... an Official is quoted as asking people to adhere to this order. BTW ... if they come get you, they will not pull your car out or take you home. You will be taken to a warming shelter.

From the NWS (for Lake County and NWI): "If you attempt to travel, you are putting your life in your hands."

OMG, I just cleared my driveway and our neighbor's. She was out there shoveling.. her husband has been at work all day and the driveway has to be cleared so he can get in when he gets home. The worst part is the 2 ft high piles of hardened snow in front of the driveway left by the city plows.

I would take it as: if you get stuck, you may not get help.
