Waaaaaaaaaay over hyped. Yes, some walkways and parking lots are very icy but the roads are fine. MOF, they have been treated so much the past few days they are better than they would be if it had snowed a couple inches.
Sheesh.

suppose to get more ice as the day goes on.
Bus's full of kids on icy roads not wearing seat belts? Not a good idea.

Bob Dole would imagine the people without power don't think it was overhyped.
Of course, they won't be able to respond to your thoughtful topic. |

I would agree with Bob Dole on that. But if I have 0 ice on my car windows then it was not as bad or should I say...as broad as they were hyping. |

I would rather everyone be prepared for the ice storm, especially after 2002, than not. The road crews did an excellent job thus far with preventing ice build up. I know that as of 7am, fairway and westwood are without power in Johnson County. Not sure up north. People might have been overboard with buying generators for 500 bucks, but as far as taking travel precautions, going to and from work, its expected.
and its not over yet... |

No, the schools being canceled are fine. The sidewalks are slick and you have kids who'd be waiting in freezing rain for the bus to come. Some of the bus drivers are bad enough in regular conditions...yikes.
But the rest of this doomsday scenario is rather pointless.

South Central KS here. Power was out for a little bit last night. Went off again this morning at about 5:45a or so. I'm expecting it to be off at least through today.
Overhyped? As far as ice goes.....yes. As far as damage......no. |

If you lived through no power for nine days a few years ago, had livestock to take care of, a kid who has to ride a bus to school and were not a dipshit, you wouldnt think it was over hyped.
But then you missed out on the dipshit thing.
