Bring on the Thunder Snow

Clear all day, but the weather types were atwitter all day about the next big storm. As of ca. 11 pm, still no snow yet. But it's on the way. Good thing my commute is only a few feet down the stairs, and that Yuriko is off tomorrow. With a NWS winter storm warning like this (for Cook County), there's also some chance that there will be no school tomorrow:

ONCE PRECIPITATION BEGINS... IT WILL FALL IN EARNEST AS ABUNDANT MOISTURE IS DRAWN INTO THIS STORM SYSTEM. SNOW RATES OF AN INCH PER HOUR WILL BE COMMON FOR MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 6 AM NORTH OF I-88 AND I-290. SNOW RATES IN THUNDER SNOW COULD BE 2 INCHES PER HOUR OR HIGHER.

Thunder snow. I can only remember hearing it once, a few years ago in December. I wouldn't mind waking up to the sound of thunder a week before Christmas.
