Information technology trash with a penchant for photography. Will like all photos of your pets. Chicago is the greatest city in existence.

♫ and while I’m alive, I’ll make tiny changes to earth ♫

It’s that day, y’all. Time to do some Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald posting…
Who Would Win meme One side reads, “a good ship and true with a load of iron ore 26,000 tons more than it weighed empty” Underneath is a photo of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, the famed iron boat freighter The other side reads, “one stormy boi” Under this is a weather reading of a storm over Lake Superior, labeled “Lake Superior Nov 9-11, 1975. Significant Wave Height and Direction 7 PM EST, November 10, 1975.” The storm map is colorized and marked with a wave height scale off to one side. The two strong arms meme: a white man and a black man, both very built and strong, clasp hands in an overhand, bent-elbow handshake of sorts. One arm is labeled “Rick Astley”, the other is labeled “Lake Superior”, and their clasped hands are labeled “Never gonna give you up.” A pic of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. Above it, it reads “I never see you at the club.” Below it, it reads “ well I never see you getting emotional about the 1975 ship wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" The top pic is a photo of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. The bottom is a screenshot of a woman saying “honey, you’ve got a big storm coming.”

This is why they were in downtown Chicago today.

Snow totals range from 1.6" at O'Hare to 2.5" at Midway. There was a report of 12" at Momence early this morning and 10" in Crown Point. Here's a listener photo from Kenosha:

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

📸 Rides I'd drive #Brooklyn #photography
An old timey but hot looking... somewhere between a car and a van, is parked on a curb and set against a weathered brick wall. No one is inside. The top third of the car is a shiny blue, bottom two thirds grey. I know nothing about cars but it looks nice. The pavement is wet because it's drizzling out. Close in shot on a drivers' side window on a car with two decals stuck to it: one a mobster hat (fedora?), the other a cigar. Both placed so it looks like the driver, when present, would be wearing them. There's raindrops on the window because it's drizzling out.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

There is thicker jargon in here but to simplify: there’s going to be the sort of juice in the atmosphere along Lake Michigan tonight that is typically reserved for summertime thunderstorms. Except it will be 29°. That’s how you get 5” of snow per hour. This could be rather something.
nuphoto.com Nick Ulivieri @nuphoto.com · 1d
An update from the NWS on the potential snow event. Read it.

One key: “…As a result, the expectation is for the lake effect snow bands to be unusually intense with peak snow rates of 3 to locally 5 inches per hour, frequent lightning and thunder, and pockets of hail.”

#ILwx #Chicago #ChicagoWX
As has been discussed in previous forecast discussions, the magnitude of lake instability available tonight into Monday is incredible and more typical of environments over Lake Erie. Forecast BUFKIT profiles over the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan tonight depict 850/700mb temperature differentials of 25/35C, lake-induced CAPE in excess of 1,500 J/kg, and effective equilibrium levels nearing 25,000 feet. As a result, the expectation is for the lake effect snow bands to be unusually intense with peak snow rates of 3 to locally 5 inches per hour, frequent lightning and thunder, and pockets of hail. Even with the expectation for the snow bands to be relatively transitory, the unusually intense snow rates will render snow clearing measures ineffective leading to dangerous travel conditions. If any band were to park over the same area for several hours (which may very well happen in Cook county at around daybreak Monday), travel may become impossible with the potential for stranded cars during the rush hour commute. Needless to say, this may become a very dangerous and life threatening situation beneath the most intense and stationary lake effect snow bands.Travel is not advised beneath the lake effect snow bands.

Appropriately strong wording from @NWSChicago AFD regarding the potential for multiple intense bands of lake effect snow tonight into Monday morning.

Extremely heavy snow with zero visibility, high winds, and lightning possible in the strongest bands.

"That’s 73 more than the same time last year" cents? dollars? electricites?
Screenshot of a ComEd email: Your energy use is projected to be 41% higher on your next bill compared to the same time last year. That’s 73 more than the same time last year. 73 what? We may never know.
