As others have pointed out thats remaining, and in these conditions totals don't matter all that much. 2 inches would create a major problem.

Right. A blizzard warning can happen with very little snow.

It seems like we might not hit the 10-11 inches that they were talking about last night. But we’ll likely hit 8-9. And it won’t make a bit difference.

Honestly, that's pretty much the extend of my HVAC knowledge. I just know that I have to clean my flame sensor once at minimum, sometimes twice a year. If it's dirty it can't detect that there is a flame so the furnace will cycle 5 or 6 times then lock itself out for an hour for safety purposes.

If your system is that new I would bet good money it's filter, flame sensor, or outdoor vent covered like others suggested.

FWIW, the first winter I wonder a house I had to call an HVAC tech out because of what I described above during a cold snap. Literally all he did was clean the flame sensor, check the filter, and rinse out the condensate drain tube for a "standard" service. He told me if I want to save money next time to youtube it and I haven't had to call for service since.

This is excellent advice.

I clean the flame sensor on my furnace and water heater every winter to prevent them from shutting down. Just check the model of your furnace and then Google how to clean the flame sensor for that model. You should be able to do it yourself.

The alternative is to pay $100+ to have an HVAC technician come to your house and do it for you.

Eh, I just pay every year to get my furnace tuned up. They know what their doing, I don't. My extent of furnace knowlege is changing the filter every couple months.

Yuck. I’ve turned into such a winter driving chicken since I’ve been able to work from home. On days like today, I’d have always took vacation. But now, I see 5 inches of snow and don’t want to leave.

Just, don't go out.

Don't order food delivery.

I'm assuming a strong possibility about Okie St not travelling in bad weather and the game being postponed, considering what happened in 2011.

That just sounds smart. I think about all the awful weather I've pushed through (and will be stuck pushing through), and it seems like a bunch of mistakes more than anything else.

The low is slowing down in Illinois/Chicago area so will it mean more additional snow here? Maybe, we shall see, but still getting all that additional is still very problematic.
