I can't wait, we're supposed to be getting our snowmaggeddon Tues-Wed. Maybe I should call the doc preemptively.

I've had to take relaxers for a prolonged time period in the past, probably took a third of what I was told to. They do make you all melty, not my cup of tea. I'd rather have the pain.

BTW, how many inches did you guys end up with last round? Latest GFS and European models have Chi-town getting hit with 1.62" of moisture, at a 15 to 1 ratio. 24" wonderful inches of the white crap after the math..
