Chicago Blizzard 2/1/2011

Breaking news! The blizzard has just been downgraded to the *fourth *worst on record…

WGN Linky Thing

Seems right psychologically. '79 was way worse than what we had this year.

Yeah, these point estimates of individual storm events don’t tell you much. Five storms of 15 inches each, all within a month, would be much more crippling than one 20 inch storm, but they wouldn’t crack the Top Ten.

Oops! Now they changed it back again! [emily litella]Never mind![/emily litella]

Whoops!!

Yea, the storm of '79 was way worse. I’m still kind of glad we got all the snow rather than all the ice they got in the Indianapolis area. They had a couple inches of ice. I think I would rather have snow than ice.
