Midwest blizzard could lose strength
Abby Moon and Carley Moon are pulled on a mattress by their grandfather Clyde Moon's four-wheeler during a winter storm in Fairfield, Wisconsin, on Thursday, December 20. Gov. Scott Walker has declared an emergency in the state, mobilizing the Wisconsin National Guard as some areas are expecting up to 14 inches of snow with blizzard conditions. The blizzard cut power to tens of thousands of homes and forced schools to close across the upper Midwest. (CNN) -- A blizzard that hammered the Midwest is expected to weaken Friday. But the road closures, school cancellations, power outages and travel delays spawned by the storm continue to cause widespread havoc and inconvenience. Many people planning Christmas trips have been stuck at Chicago's two airports -- O'Hare and Midway -- because of flight cancellations. "There is a long line of very unhappy people," said an air traveler quoted by CNN affiliate WLS.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
