Snow Removal

The city's done a great job of cleaning up the streets but it would be a little more useful now for the plows to be clearing off sides streets rather than scraping the edge of Main like the one that just passed me. Main is free of ice and snow except along the edges while there are still dozens of side streets unplowed.

School Closing List

It's already long and getting longer every time I look at it.

Update: Gotta love SIUC's optimism. 5:30 and they still haven't announced if the school is closing.

Update: 8 p.m and still no word on the website about Wednesday.

Update: SIUC announced it was closing sometime between 10 p.m and 6 a.m.
