Blizzard message from the Rogers Park / West Ridge Historical Society
Today's Snowstorm is History--Help Us Preserve It
Our photo archive is a great place in which to put your photos of today's storm. We have a bunch of photos from the 1967 storm, let's preserve this one too.
Tell us where the photo was taken, the date, and anything else you want to tell us that will help us to document and preserve your photos for future generations. A couple of years from now, without this information, few people will be able to identify what they're seeing.
Have any stories about the storm you'd like to share? We'd like to read them. Send them to the addresses below. Send your stories soon, while you still remember them. We want to document how Rogers Parkers and West Ridgers rose to the challenges. Maybe something funny or inspiring happened. Tell us. Chances are we'll do a story about the storm, if we don't get your stories, or photos, we can't include them.
Photos and/or stories can be sent electronically directly to rpwrhs@aol.com. In the subject line, please say "Snowstorm", or some other description that will help us identify it and separate it from the tons of spam we all get every day.
Prints and stories can be mailed to: Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society, 1447 W. Morse Ave., Chicago, IL 60626.
History is made every day. Be a part of its preservation.

The Blizzard begins
I'm driving all over Chicago tonight in this blizzard.
When I return tonight, I will post some photos and video of a blizzard drive through Rogers Park.

Loyola cancels classes as blizzard approaches
A message from Loyola University:
__________________________________________
Due to severe and life-threatening weather conditions, classes have been canceled at the Lake Shore and Water Tower campuses starting at 4:15 p.m. today, Tuesday, February 1, through Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Please continue to visit LUC.edu for additional updates.
The Simpson and Lakeshore dining halls and the Terry Food Court (in the Terry Student Center) will remain open. Halas Sports Center, Klarchek Information Commons, and Cudahy Library are also scheduled to remain open with limited hours of operation. The campus Shuttle Service will stop Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. and resume Thursday at 7 a.m. There will be no 8-RIDE service on Tuesday evening and service is scheduled to resume on Wednesday evening. Please contact Campus Safety at 773.508.6039 if you need emergency transportation.
Because travel will be severely curtailed by the anticipated heavy snowfall and blizzard conditions, only essential personnel are asked to come to campus on Tuesday evening and Wednesday. All other faculty, staff, and students should stay home or in their residence halls until after the severe weather subsides. Those who have the ability to work from an alternative location and have approval from their supervisor, may do so. Those not requested to report to work should remain home. Staff who are not working can use their accrued paid time off (floating holiday, personal time, or vacation) to generate pay for this day.
Classes and normal work schedules are anticipated to resume on Thursday, February 3. Please be sure to check for updates at LUC.edu or call the University’s weather line at 773.508.8900.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
John Pelissero, Provost
Tom Kelly, Vice President of Human Resources
