If this weather continues, Chicago pits may be impacted tomorrow.

Quote from Maverick74:

Lakeshore Dr is actually closed. I think that's the first time that has happened since...maybe ever.

It was bizarre. LSD inbound was a graveyard. Outbound a parking lot!
 
Quote from nitro:

I am motivated to go outside and take some pictures and post them. Man, the weather in Chicago is absolutely brutal. It feels like I am in the North Pole!

Temp: about 20 degrees.
Wind: Howling at least 50 MPH, making it feel close to zero temp.
Snow: Coming down like rain, sideways.
Driving conditions: Extremely dangerous.
Majority of schools: closed.

I was driving, and I couldn't see the traffic lights until I was almost on top of them. Visibility is probably twenty feet in front of you.

Power problems are possible. I don't know how some of the power lines are staying up in this wind. Chance that a large percentage of people that make markets in Chicago exchanges don't make it in tomorrow? Very high. This may create opportunities in electronic markets...

Nice to hear from you, Sir. Stay warm in my favorite American City.
 
Take one solid day of business profit from the entire Chicago and surrounding areas. ___Everything___ (save gas stations) is closed, and with good reason - no one is on the roads, so it would be a waste of time to be open for business.

It is not as bad as I thought it would be though. I expected twice as bad. Still, it has brought the city to a grinding halt.
