We don't have to tell you this, but Chicago is at a complete standstill right now thanks to the 20+ inches of snow dumped on the city last night. An honorable mention goes to the scary high winds, which have managed to make those 20 inches seem like mini-mountains in some areas, and chill potential pedestrians enough as to send them running back inside. The Windy City is, today, the Windy-and-Hopelessly-Snowed-In City.

Just in case you were wondering, Chicago-O'Hare Airport is closed and Chicago-Midway is operating on a very limited basis. If you have a flight out of or into any US airport, please check your flight status; FlightStats is a good site for doing so. Unfortunately, the 6,429 total flight cancellations thus far today are having system-wide effects, so even if you're just hopping from Florida to a Caribbean island, your plane may not have made it down to pick you up.

Without further ado, The Top 10 Jaunted Stories to Help You Out:
