Life Did they plow your street? Lose power?

googlegoogle · 12-25-2009, 03:54 PM

Just wondering.

Two guys with 4x4's and snow-plow rigs got stuck trying to clear the road at my dad's.

No power loss. Yet.

TrickyNicky · 12-25-2009, 03:56 PM

no and no thankfully. But I did have a basement full of water wednesday night thanks to the melt.

Reerun_KC · 12-25-2009, 03:59 PM

no and no....

Just 4 hours until my wife gets home, we cant wait to see her!

Lights flickered a couple times, but no outage yet. Plows are still too busy trying to keep the main roads clear to hit the residential areas yet.

I have no idea if my street has been plowed or not, and I haven't ever lost power in the winter time, which is odd seeing that we seem to lose it every single friggin' time there's a thunderstorm.

There's a huge city truck with a plow stuck on my street. It's full of sand and they can't get it free (it slid into a shallow culvert). They brought in another truck/plow to pull it out and all it did was burn about 1/8" rubber from the rear tires. This wouldn't be so funny except my city only does "one-way plowing" now on residential streets due to cutbacks. (I live on a dead-end street.) He'd have been better off actually TURNING AROUND at the end of the street where there's plenty of room. But nope! They're told to save money. Dead-end? Back up and save money.... into a ****ing culvert.

They should use those military type caterpillar continuous tracks.

City came through and plowed a bit around 4 am this morning and has yet to be back. Luckily, no outage or even a flicker.

**Bearcat** · 12-25-2009, 05:19 PM

My parents live on the Missouri side, outside of city limits, and their neighborhood was plowed early this morning.

I live in KCK and they didn't touch the neighborhood here, and the busier streets are questionable.

That's awesome! Love it when stupid cost cutting measures end up blowing up in their face. Do the guys running your city have any connections to the Chiefs or Royals. Sounds very familiar......

The Hy-Vee in my hometown lost power. That was an enjoyable 5 hours of my Christmas throwing melted ice cream and shit away.

Gary · 12-25-2009, 09:02 PM

Thank God no...of course it was 74 degrees in sunny Fort Myers, Florida today. Almost put on my windbreaker this morning when I felt that early morning 60 degree breeze...sorry guys, probably not a good time for warm weather humor! I've been down here since 95 but I still remember that bone aching cold weather.

**bevischief** · 12-25-2009, 10:58 PM

Yes they did a couple of times, but no loss of power yet. Would have happen last night if it was going to happen.

**DaFace** · 12-25-2009, 11:17 PM

They always plow our street when we get more than 4" or so. And no, our power didn't go out. I think that's pretty rare here since we don't really get ice storms and our snow is typically pretty dry.
