A major winter storm is approaching KC, (and a big portion of the midwest). How are you preparing?

Must be awesome to be a kid though. You get to miss half the winter classes. Shit, even employers are going soft with the cold weather. Maybe naming snow storms and intense media coverage has actually worked to get folks all hysterical over cold winds and a half foot of snow.
I'm not following. How are employers going soft? Are you talking about not asking employees to put their lives on the line for 1 day of a company raking in the dough?

Fine by me, Americans On a whole work plenty, a couple snow days is no skin off anyone's back. A lot of people can work in part remotely, and I'd rather people be safe because there's a lot of shitty drivers on the road already when the road conditions are fine. It's a small % of people in the workforce that are actually part of critical services.

Our office sent out a notice at 6AM that it was closed for the day. It had barely started snowing at that point. My wife's office didn't close until 2PM.

Nobody died.

It was very lightly snowing this morning when I left for work. I live a bit north of Houston but still crazy to have anything down here.

I remember back when a snow storm was just called a snow storm-not WINTER BLAST, POLAR FREEZE or other silly names.

It just snow people-it will melt.

I woke up expecting four inches and white out conditions on Tuesday morning. We got light flurries until about 8:30, and then the snow came down at a decent rate for the next ten hours. Maybe 10"-12" altogether over the course of the day. And it was the best sort of precipitation you can hope for. Not windy and blizzard like. No ice. Just light, fluffy snow that was a breeze to scoop. The preemptive shut downs would lead you to believe we were to expect a legit BLIZZARD or that ice had killed 1/3 of the power lines in the metro.

My wife got sent home at 2, and made the 15 mile commute with no incident at all. Cars and big rigs were humming along I-29 all day here in Platte City. It wasn't until it started getting dark that I noticed people driving noticeably slower. The hype surrounding these winter storms is hilarious. Did we not all grow up in the midwest? Are we not used to *gasp* heavy snow accumulation in the winter? Is it necessary to rush to the store and buy up all the bread and water you can find?

Shit, most of the people in this very thread reported they had no problem getting around in their reasonably equipped vehicles. I went out to clean my wife's car off yesterday morning and the apartment complex parking lot was a like a snow tomb. Nobody was trying to go anywhere, despite our lot being clear and the main road to the complex being clear.

Oh, and I'm all for snow days. I'm just not going to act like it's all about safety, when it's really the equivalent of an adult living out their inner child. Which is fun and necessary sometimes.

So I didn't go in Tuesday. We ended up having nearly 100 call ins. Yesterday I attempted to go in, but got stuck literally right outside the house. Ended up having to blow two vacation days, which wasn't what I intended.

PROTIP - Never ever buy a house on a hill with a cul-de-sac involved. The city doesn't even know your little street exists.

PROTIP #2 - Buy a snowblower, even if you only have to use it a couple times a season.

It's incredibly stupid, and it's not just 'winter blast'... they've even started giving them official names like hurricanes. People stock up on groceries like they won't be able to leave their house for 2 weeks.
