I hope not! It says 2-4" on weather.com.

Good thing I took my car for service and they gave me a new RX loaner

Its actually to be a min of 4" and up to a foot, More in the North So I will get the 4" and you will get the 12" or more...then its going to snow through Wednesday. Be prepared for a nightmare on Tuesday leaving work Traffic is going to be terrible.

Around here in Bolingbrook/Plainfield, it's only about 2-3 inches, but it's coming down pretty hard. The problem is that some of the roads weren't cleared properly and turned to thick ice and with this fluffy stuff on top of it it's going to cause some accidents.

How clutch is the RX loaner? Just when you think you're sick and tired of getting to drive ES's as loaners, you get an RX to get you through the 4-12" of white stuff.

Jealous!

Just went home and came back to work. my driveway was just below my window on my car. its lowered but serioulsy I had the only driveway that was like this and its like they pushed the snow there for us being the corner house. I am going to feel that tomorrow am and dont need to hit the gym today now. it was an easier drive today then the last storm for me but I think there was less people on the roads today.

hope everyone is home safe

I requested the RX loaner because I knew it was going to snow bad. They gave me an 2009 with 5k miles on it!

The dealer fixed almost everything. They put in a new HID, got rid of my seat squeak, dash rattle, ordered a new ML subwoofer, and did a full alignment. I will have to go back when the new ML sub comes in.

Apparently my alignment was off by a lot. I noticed a difference in the snow. It grips a lot better. I had no problems getting home.
