What a difference a year makes! On February 2, 2011 (left photo) I woke up to over 2 feet of snow. This was my street. One year later the same picture of my street on February 2, 2012 (right photo). Recent snows have melted and we have yet to record a foot of snow this year. Even though I like snow I don't want 2 feet at once again, when I have to shovel.

Illinois Goes Silent, Peoria Feared Lost

Reports are flooding in of widespread devastation across northern Illinois. According to unconfirmed reports phone lines and cell communication, internet, and and electricity are down across the majority of the state. The city of Chicago is maintaining vital services at the moment, but director of public services Michael Johnston tells OHSHITSNOW it's only a matter of time before services go down.

97 inches of snow has buried Peoria and it is feared as many as half of the 183,000 residents are feared dead. The National Guard has been activated and will respond as soon as mechanized response equipment is secured.
