I think they rely too much on the heat wave to come from Olathe and melt the snow.

All the cities are being stingy because their budgets are tight. Unfortunately, it backfires when several guys with trucks take out light poles.

The roads weren't that bad. I'm going to assume you meant to say several women.

EDIT: Nevermind I see your from Johnson County so it could be either. I don't think anyone out there knows how to drive in snow.

I think they were all counting on global warming to keep everything warm enough that they could cheap out on snow removal.

Driving in the snow is a blast.

Heh. Well that is true, too. But, I was also referring to people who think trucks are good in snow (without sandbags in the back).

Or people that thinks that 4 wheel drive makes it eaiser to stop

People in JoCo don't know how to drive in snow because our road crews actually do their ****ing jobs

That explains why I saw 5 wrecks on I-35 last night. You may clean your roads better but it doesn't help the drivers any. If there is snow on the grass people drive 20 mph under the speed limit. It's ****ing annoying. Just because you don't have anywhere to be doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

I was on I-35 last night and didn't see any wrecks in JoCo. Must have been on the dirty-ass Missouri side!

South of 435. Missouri side did have a couple too on my way home from work. Kansas license plates though.

Yep... and if it's 45 out and there's some melted snow on the road (aka water), people slow down.

People like to talk about how it's a Kansas or Missouri problem, but it's a metro area thing... there's a big difference between driving around here in Omaha (or a few other places I've been) and KC in the rain or snow. There are idiots everywhere who don't know what the fast lane is for, etc; but KC is special when it comes to driving in any weather except warm & sunny.... it's like driving in Texas when it snows, except they have an excuse.

I blame Katie Horner.
