Big Pink Storm of Death Headed For Topeka/Kansas City...

[Fish]

Katie Horner must be foaming at the mouth over this one... By the end of the night she'll be screaming that we should euthanize our pets and pray to the Lord for a swift death....

[petegz28]

That woman is irritating. I watched her spend and hour one day talking about the wind speeds of the front of a storn compared to the back and it was well, well south of us.

[Lzen]

Yeah, I had to cancel my team's first basketball practice. Went up to the Walgreen's and Price Chopper in Fleming Place about an hour or so ago. It was madness. Never seen that parking lot so full.

She also said that Shawnee Mission Parkway will resemble this.

[Al Bundy]

I would still have sexual relations with her. I bet she is a squeeler.

[Adept Havelock]

:LOL: at Demonpenz.

I crossed paths with her once at the Plaza Barnes and Noble in the checkout.

I told her I was a huge fan! She grinned....then I told her it was because "Chicken Little" was always my favorite book as a child.

For some reason she got huffy and didn't want to talk anymore. At least a couple other folks in line got a nice laugh out of it.

[Saulbadguy]

We just got back from Dillons, they ran out of gas and the carts were backed up all the way to the dairy aisle.

[memyselfI]

I needed fuggin cat food and had to go to the store. You would think we are on the eve of Armageddon. I bet it barely sleets.

[Saulbadguy]

I bet it barely sleets.
That's the thing, it will rain - but it will all turn in to ice overnight.

Gov. Sebelius just declared state of emergency for the entire state.

[DaFace]

What's with the random white spot west of Wichita?

[Chief Chief]

Gov. Sebelius just declared state of emergency for the entire state.

...and yet the governor has yet to declare a state of emergency for the Chiefs?!??!!

What's up wit' dat??

[Pablo]

My dad went to Lowe's here in town and he said they were pulling in pallets of generators from the back to feed the frenzy..

It's Ice2K.

OMG, we're all f*cked!!

I'm betting a small percentage of those dumbasses who buy generators will kill themselves with carbon monoxide or burn their house down.

I'm betting a small percentage of those dumbasses who buy generators will kill themselves with carbon monoxide or burn their house down.I'm sure.

I don't even hate ice storms because they suck, I hate them because it sends the masses into a state of panic. Like we're gonna get iced back to the stone age or something.

It will ice, it will be slippery outside, it will be hard to drive. You may lose power. But we're not gonna die.

I used to work at Home Depot as a loader and every time we'd get an ice storm alert, I knew I'd be spending all day and/or night outside loading ice melt for old people.

[Saulbadguy]

I'm sure.

Nope. It's not even going to be that cold tomorrow - just cold enough to be icy.

[Chieficus]

Well, I just checked the NWS forecast and it called for "ice with possible thunder..."

Ooooh... convective icing, or: "Thunder Ice!!!"

Well, to pull out my expertise with meteorology: you all are screwed. Better join the panic...

:jester:

[Coach]

...and yet the governor has yet to declare a state of emergency for the Chiefs?!??!!

What's up wit' dat??

Well, how can you declare a state of emergency for the Chiefs, if they're in Missouri?

Governor of Kansas can't declare a state of emergency for another state. :p

Heh, well, I did see lighting while it's freezing rain out there.

Of course, living in the midwest, this does not surprise me.

[JohninGpt]

This storm fugged-up Oklahoma. My parents, brothers, and sisters houses, all in Broken Arrow, are all without power. The best estimate for restoration is Dec 18th. I wouldn't say panic, but make sure you have a way to cook and a way to keep warm. Good luck!
BTW, sunny and 75 in the Norfolk area today. I had to turn on the AC in my truck.

[Mecca]

I worked at Price Chopper while I was in high school...any bad weather predicted it turns into a ****in circus.

We always use to joke about how ****in retarded people are, they act like they are going to be stuck in their houses for a month, it's ridiculous.

[Pablo]

We have the worst f*cking weather ever here.

It's just ridiculous.

Just a month ago it went from being high 70's to low 80's and the next effing day it was 40 degrees and windy and raining.

Seriously...this region just gets sh*t on.

[Chieficus]

Ice just flat out sucks anyway you look at it; but seriously one of my favorite weather phenomena is thunder snow/convective snow; my first experience with it (that I remember at least) was while I was at school in OK.

I'm still waiting for the potential to chase one of those elusive "snownados" though... :)

Weplayed a football game up there last year. At kickoff it was around 75. By the end of the game it was under 40. We had all dressed for warmth, and sweat the whole game. I think it's among the coldest times I've ever felt.

I hope CA falls off the map sometime soon, and we have a mass exodus to states like Kansas, and North and South Dakota, then all those west coast folks can get introduced to some hell on earth weather.

I found a few decent resolution pics of Katie Horner but she's in a business suit in em so not really much point in posting them.

Let's just say it's not worth it to watch her when she interrupts primetime TV.

Wouldn't it update itself if you used the url of the map?

[Dartgod]

My driveway is a solid sheet of ice right now. I have to go uphill to get out, so no work for me tomorrow, most likely.

I've got about 12 lbs of ice melt I'm going to go out and cover it. Hope that will help.

I'll probably fall on my ass.

put out a call for rainman. mabe he can set up a poll to see what the best method of weather control would be.

My old ass tree in the backyard - branches fall with a strong fart - has already started shedding branches. Big one fell and hit the side of the house. If I'm lucky, I may get a new roof.....

Holy crap. Transformer blew down the street. Caught a fence on fire. 10 minutes later....no fluckin' power. Luckily, just got power back. Only out for about 2 hours. Hooked up the generator....had heat.
