================================================ Subject: Re: NCR: speed limit From: "Keith P. Mears" To: Date: Fri 7 Sep 2001 02:45:19 -0500 ================================================ Okay, you're at least FAMILIAR with Chicago, so I'm going to assume you know where Palos Hills is (think Southwest, JUST off 294, or better yet, think 95th St. and Harlem Ave.), and I'll assume you know that Buffalo Grove is pretty far north (think Lake Cook Road and Route 83). NORMALLY, even in traffic, an hour and a half (sans traffic, 1:15). Last snowstorm to hit in January, that drive took me FOUR HOURS, and I even took the BACK roads trying to avoid traffic. 88, dead stop, both ways. 355, dead stop, both ways. 294, dead stop, both ways. 290, you guessed it dead stop, both ways (that's normal even when it's NOT snowing!).
