Yup, it is nasty out there! No, really. So nasty in fact that the Chicagoist offices have declared a Snow Day. Which doesn't mean we'll be slacking off today, no siree; we'll just be working from home. You should too, if you can! Traffic conditions ain't pretty. We could get six inches of accumulation out of this thing before the storm moves out later today. Check this handy website to see if your place of business might also be closed today; and if it's not listed, for Pete's sake at least call ahead first!

So, those of you getting a free day from work, what will you do with your newfound time off? And those of you who have had to brave the elements to get somewhere, what is it like out there?
