Weather Snow Freak out - Page 5

zigbazah · 12-19-2012, 10:06 PM

Anybody watching channel 9 right now? They had a reporter in some podunk NW Missouri town reporting on the fact that there's no snow. She like "we've seen a little rain, but the snow isn't here yet. We might get an inch or two over the night."

I can't believe all of this coverage for a possible inch or two.

Not complaining, though. We need to be safe with the kids.

There were times for me on the way to work I had to almost stop because I couldn't see jack shit.

Glad I can work from home on days like this...

Lol I know I'm just giving y'all a hard time. It is amazing how prepared they are here.

If the Mayans are right, we are going to look foolish.

If the Mayans were that good at predicting the future there would still be Mayans, no?

Attempted to get to work this morning with no avail. Stuck twice until a neighbor with a 4x4 was able to get me off the road in a parking lot and gave me a ride home.

My job is delivering, with nearly a 1/2 inch thick sheet of ice all over and nothing done yet by the state, I'm going nowhere today.

**Lumpy** · 12-20-2012, 10:29 AM

Aside from fish-tailing a few times, I got to work just fine, (was a little late though). Oh, how I love my 4x4 Jeep!

I drove by this one chick that got stuck in a snowbank. She kept spinning her tires when she could have easily just backed up and got out.

Women drivers.

I'm north of you and we got about 10", though it is still coming down. The bad thing is that it is pretty wet, so snow-blowing this stuff isn't going to be fun. Looks like I am going to spend most of my day off on the tractor.

Took me almost two hours going from Independence to Overland Park. I have a jeep, too, and it's made for days like this. Problem was, too many other people stuck, and traffic was backed up all over the place. Lots of stuck semi's on hill grades. Once they get stopped, they can't get momentum to start up again. Exit from 435 to Raytown MO 350 was shut down, traffic crawled from I-70 to Gregory, that stretch took about 45 minutes. Kansas portion of 435 was in much better shape. It'll take a long time to get home tonight I'm sure. Everybody take it slow and easy.

Just enough snow to call off school everywhere around here, but far from enough to burn the big brush pile I've accumulated from clearing pasture the past couple years.

I don't get calling off school for this. I remember our school bus getting stuck many times, in stuff alot worse than the 2 or 3 inches we got.

Going on 10 hours with no power. Thank God for smartphones.
