The weather in Chicago is so bad and will be getting only worse as a blizzard capable of dumping 18 inches of snow approaches, predicts WGN meteorolgist Tom Skilling.

"A major winter storm greets Groundhog Day. Accumulating snow along with blowing and drifting with north winds 30 to 40 mph," Skilling warns for Chicago on Tuesday. "Snow ends as temps fall. Wind chills 10 to 20 below even as winds diminish overnight."

Meanwhile, the National Weather service is warning those in Chicagoland "do not travel" on Tuesday.

The warning is in effect from 3 p.m. Tuesday until 3 p.m. Wednesday. "Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities are likely," the weather service said. "This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel."

The weather service is calling the winter blizzard "dangerous, multifaceted and potentially life-threatening," with Mother Nature capable of dumping snow at a rate of 2 to 3 inches per hour.

Jobbigt att de varnar för snöstorm och värsta ovädret. Massor av mail har skickats ut till oss studenter som varnats. Men igår, enligt Aftonbladet.se, så ska tydligen USA gå under på grund av ett jätte stort vulkan utbrott. Det kanske ändå är bäst att packa väskorna och föröska komma med ett av de få flighterna som går, för O'Hare International Airport i Chicago har ställt in 3000 avgångar.

Vilket är värst? Den som lever få se!
