11 inches and still growing here.

Not much fun out there.

The highway crews can't keep a single lane from drifting over here. I'm going to say a solid 10" so far and it's still dumping out of the sky.

....and half the grocery store shelves are wiped the **** clean. LMAO

Lol, yep.

Where you at? KC?

Yeah, when I looked at radar around midday, I knew Topeka was gonna get hit near the hardest, overall.

I got off work today, but tomorrow I have to go in, unfortunately. Unless I decide to play hooky.

Lotta freezing rain here then back to fluffy snow…sucks

:ZZZ: Less than two inches in SW MO. Both storms this week missed us for the most part. No precipitation in the long-range forecast. It's more "Coldmageddon" here.

Bout 10 inches plus here in North KC.

We got like 3 inches. Not much moisture in it. It's pretty light.

The moon is out. Going to be a high of 7 tomorrow. Yay!

North Central MO.

It's well past a foot deep and it's still coming strong.

0 inches here in San Diego. :dom:

Well then of course you would need to;

Sorry to hear about your plight buttongunt.

Up to 8 inches in Raytown. Wife is pretty impressed.

Sweet!!!!

I think it is over 12.5" now. It looks to be the third highest daily snowfall on record in Topeka.

That wasn't too bad, easiest foot of snow I've ever shoveled. Powdery as hell.

Powdery 1" in North Texas

when I measured 11 it was still snowing. I went out to shovel again 2 hours later and there was 3 more inches on the driveway.

12.9 is the official from Billard airport but we got around 14 here.

Love my four wheel drive Tahoe. Gets around pretty damn good.

0`degrees outside.

welp. Got about a foot here and my city has not plowed my street, or the cross street leading too it.

SNOW DAY!

My driveway had about 2 feet (drifts terribly) over it, and I got buried in my
4X4, had to dig it out.

Im in a civic~ No use to even try

KC Native said he got 8" last night and it didn't snow where he lives.

Mrs. Radar’s Jeep Liberty gets around very well too.
My Jeep does great in a straight line but turning a corner is a horror show.
That’s the bad thing about putting an automatic positive locking differential in the front axle, it has to have some semblance of traction in order to sense when to unlock and allow one tire to turn faster than the other to go around a turn. With no traction it just stays locked up oblivious to any steering input and its loose snow on top of ice this morning.

Only got 4-5 inches here. -23 degrees with the wind chill right now.

My XJ plows through it like it isn't there. I will never own anything other than a Jeep!

They cancelled school again, and the roads are clear.


I guess it must be the -30 wind chill and the 11tybillion snow days that didn't get used the last 10 years. They must have said "**** it" and taken an extra day.

I noticed during my morning commute that there were a lot of Jeeps out.

Lots of side roads haven't really been touched.

Here too. And I believe they're running 2 hours late tomorrow.

Liberty's are amazing.


Years ago we test drove several different small SUV's for my wife. The Trailblazer sucked, Explorers were garbage.

The little Jeep Liberty was head and shoulders above both in terms of power and handling the snow and ice.

It was an easy decision. She loves the Liberty and it still runs GREAT.

The only weakness is the power window linkage. I have no idea WTF they were thinking when they designed that POS.

I'll be cleaning my driveway for the 3rd time this evening. There was only an additional inch or so on it last night when I went to bed. This morning it had all drifted over and was 7-8 inches deep in some areas.

Thank God for snow blowers!

12 inches in Overland Park.

LMAO Glad to know it's not just ours.

There is a lot of anger and vemon spewed towards the rear windows. LMAO

Seriously, some engineering nerd thought a little piece of plastic would hold up?

What, are you under 5' tall? :D

Those things are not made for people who outgrew the toddler stage.

My trail blazer does really well in snow and ice. I don't have big gnarly tires on it either. It's not as good as my pickup (that has a little more aggressive tires on it), but it is better than almost everything else.

EDIT: My WIFE'S Trail Blazer. I need to remember my place in all this.

We traded off a Yukon three years ago for a Buick Enclave. Its a great driver and comfy. But in snow it is a danger. Selling it with only 47000 miles and getting a new Yukon. Wfe can't be without 4wd and Im not buying another small car with traction control bullshit

Is there anyone you won't help? I dig out the old couple across from me. I clear out my neighbors drive and walkway when her work takes her out of town and it snows. The guy next to me though, he clears one little spot on his windshield to see out of, makes no attempt to clear a path, gets in his economy sized vehicle and tries to gun his way out to the street and of course gets stuck halfway in his driveway and the street. He does it every time it snows and I refuse to help him.

I'm 6'1"/250# and fit quite nicely in Mrs. Radar's Liberty.
When the English come to town we'll haul up to 5 adults around in it, tight squeeze but livable.

Is that the terrain type unibody setup?

Wife's trail blazer is full framed and standard 4wd. It has traction control but you can shut it off.

Yep, got 2 foot drifts in the front yard and driveway.

Plows didn't come down our street so people are getting stuck all over :grr:

6'3

I drive a Yukon.

The Liberty is small, but my wife is only 5'3. We have taken it up in the mountains quite a bit and it has plenty of room for me (since I always drive ;))

I was dead set on buying a Trailblazer until my wife talked me into test-driving the Liberty. To be honest, I didn't even consider the little Liberty to be an option. I was very surprised. The Liberty was a lot better than the Trailblazer in the snow, and had a lot better acceleration. It was a lot simpler, and simpler = less broken shit.

It might be different now, but 5 years ago it was an easy decision.

Speaking of cars: my wife recently bought an Acura RDX Turbo with AWD. It's done very, very well in the snow.

No replacement for my old 4Runner, but it's close to Subaru as far as handling the snow.

My Prius got around fine....gets around better than my 5series BMW. I thought it would be much worse in the snow.

My Subaru has been beasting in the snow. I've seen 4x4 trucks getting stuck as I keep chugging along.

Wife's Xterra is in beast mode. Zero issues.

They don't make trail blazers anymore. Or any small full framed SUV for that matter. Wife's is bottom of the line as far as trim goes. It's pretty damned simple. It doesn't have the v8, but that 4.2 inline 6 (I was like wtf and almost didn't buy it because of the motor) does well. Even when wife thinks she's Andretti.

I hope that bitch lasts for 30 years because if I save every dime, it'll take that long before I can afford a Tahoe.

Last winter I was "help everybody" guy. I live in an apartment complex, so that can turn into quite a few people.

Until some old bird drove straight into a snow drift; and as I was attempting to push her ass out, she couldn't grasp the concept of drive and reverse and nearly ran me the **** over.

Now I'm "help nobody" guy. My next door neighbor is cool, so I'd help him if he had any issue, but he's got a jacked up truck so that's never going to happen.

Went out this morning and saw some poor lady shoveling herself out from the nice two foot drift the snow plow had pushed against the back of the entire row of cars. Hopped in the wife's Sorrento and backed over that lump, cleaned it off and went back inside. She looked on in amazement and most likely realized she should buy something with AWD/4WD and a bit of clearance for times like these.

It will haul 3 little Buehlers for the next 25 years.

We are going to hit a bottleneck on our next kid with the Liberty. My wife just said,"We can buy a new Suburban or Yukon."

Ya, **** that. 50-55k for a car just goes beyond my comprehension. I like my money to make more money instead being put on top of 4 tires.

My Chevy Silverado, has had zero issues.

my f-150 zero issues as well

Right there with you buddy. I'm pretty sure you can tie up 65K if you set your mind to it. It's absurd. We bought that trail blazer a year old with 25K miles off like 19. I bought her a Buick Regal that is quite a bit fancier again a year old with 22K on it and I'm only 22 deep into it.

My poor old pickup is a salvage title with 130K on it, and it gets more miles than both wife's cars combined now that she's not commuting.

God I'm a cheap bastard.

My one wheel drive F-150 doesn’t get around for shit.

Heh. I was worried about mine. The last time we had enough snow to snowpack the street, my tires were really new. Now, they're well...not. But there must be enough rubber to keep decent enough traction.

It's pretty easy to think you're indestructible in a pickup. But high center that whore and it is A LOT of digging to get it out.

Bob Dole did not realize you were a lesbian.

NTTAWWT

I only drive POS's.....because I am cheap....but my 2000 Eclipse, with 188k did just fine. (And no, I am NOT a lesbian)

Except that the power windows and power locks in Jeeps have always sucked ass!

Pretty sure the Eclipse is a Mitsubishi and not a Subuaru.

Don't be a brat.

I'm wearing flannel and I dig chicks. Does that make me a lesbian???

If I were a chick I would so be a lesbian.

My mighty Chebby Malibu is about take me to the store. Snow drifts, prepare to be flattened and strewn asunder.

Are you driving a Subaru?

Yes and blasting Melissa Ethridge as I drive to a WNBA game....

ROFL

Olathe Schools ‏@olatheschools 11m
Due to inclement weather, the Olathe Public Schools will be closed on Thursday, Feb. 6.

Does your wallet contain Velcro, and are you wearing Polo cologne?

Come to my window...

Touche.


If it came with manual windows I would have jumped all over it.

Only the driver window controls work on my windows. Only the power lock control on the passenger door works which is real convenient.

But at least my brights are like most people's dims even with an hid upgrade!

Snow plow just went by. First vehicle I've seen in over 24 hours

My wife drives a Subaru TriBeCa. Great in the snow. Perhaps I should be requesting a threesome?

My Prius beasts in the snow!

What a bunch of Nancy's.

Of all the KC suburbs, why is Lee's summit the worst about clearing roads? I don't get it. They're one of the top 3 suburbs in the metro and yet they are ****ing terrible about how they plow. Even their main roads look like side streets in other suburbs.

Now I'm sad. :(

Jerk.

Yeah, we got a little snow. :D

man, it's even making your house tilt to the right.
