I don't know if you HAVE to close, but we're in chicago and the families that work in the hospitals and HAD to work today were unable to get to my house. The roads around here (I am in the city, so we have lots of roads to be able to reach my house) were inaccessible. This is just so weird. I went out and shoveled a little pathway for the families and it took me almost 20 min and I swear it's gone now with the wind and the snow coming down...

I also wanted to recommend that everyone check out their local costco for these emergency lights/flashlights. You basically plug them in (they come 2 in a pack for about $15) and if the power goes out they automatically turn on. I have them plugged in around the house to light up the pathways in case of a power outage. Once you get a poweroutage, you can either turn them off or use them as a flashlight for about 8 hours of continuous use.

stay warm and safe everyone
