Snow Freak out

[zigbazah]

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." LMAO

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

[Ceej]

Quality, quality post.

[BigCatDaddy]

Take this shit to Facebook.

Yesterday I received a snowblower for Xmas . Expect record low snowfall totals and no snow tonight

I know he's a n00b, but this isn't really that bad of a thread comparatively. People post BS about the weather all the time.

[BigBeauford]

This is better than the post about Nick Wright breaking the story on Pioli and Crennel.

[tk13]

Can't argue with that. I log on and see that Nick Wright thread, open it up and it's another thread about Barry and his crazy ramblings. If I was a mod anyone who posted about that guy would get mandatory electroshock therapy.

Nobody should have thread starting privs. Threads suck, and we've got too many of them already. If the hasn't already been a thread made for a topic, it's not worthy of discussion.

You should really consider making a thread about this.

7 to 8 inches of wet snowblower plugging shit will have fallen in Omaha by 5 am. God I hate wet heavy snow.

[journeyscarab]

Sunny and 72 in Olathe per usually. Even at night.

It warmed up about 8 degrees here and we currently have T-storms, all a bunch of premature Snojakulation.

[BigBeauford]

Sunny all week in El Paso, with highs between 56-60 for the whole week.

[ClevelandBronco]

Sunny all week in El Paso, with highs between 56-60 for the whole week.

Is El Paso still about evenly divided between Cowboys fans and Raiders fans, or has everyone just given up and started watching tennis or golf or something?

[BigBeauford]

Imagine devoutly following a team that is 2-12 and having to listen to moronic raiders and cowboys fans bullshit about their teams all day. It is sort of like being the strip of skin that resides between the anus and the vagina.

Which might be why there's some reporter in NW Missouri talking about the weather...

Yeah, great, huh?

Driving home tonight from work was a pain in the ass. People were driving 20 mph below the speed limit, slowing everyone down. Then you have the idiots going 20 mph over the speed limit and fish-tailing. One damn near clipped my Jeep. Dumbasses.

I lost count on all the idiots that didn't have their damn headlights turned on. I mean really?

Damn Omahanianianas can't drive to save their asses... especially when the 1st snow hits.

I am reporting from my neck of the woods, we are getting snow. Should get 3-4 inches by morning.

Actually, when you are in this severe of a drought, any percipitation is news worthy. Not freak out worthy but worthy of mention.

[Rasputin]

I live in Senator Bob Dole home town.

We got about two inches & they called school off.

I'd be walking up hill both ways too & from school during blizzard white outs.

This is weak sauce for them to let out school.

[loochy]

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

It sure beats the hell out of listening to fear mongering about guns

[TribalElder]

Damn. It still snowed. I expected it to miss due to being prepared

14" here north of Spokane Washington and still coming down. Typing in between phone calls from employees calling to tell me they can not get here.

[petegz28]

Olathe has experienced high winds with some hard snow in minimal amounts. But do not fret, sunny and 70 by mid-day!

[Ceej]

I don't think it's too bad here in Topeka

However, they canceled school because of it.

Going to be a long 11 hour workday.

[Dartgod]

2-3" of snow and it took me a freaking hour and a half to get to work. Normally a 25 minute drive. :cuss:

[Strongside]

Same here. SM Pkwy to downtown took over an hour. We were rolling along smoothly until about 7th street, at which point traffic slowed to about 3mph. FML.

[Predarat]

The stupid bastards here raid the grocery store even if its just a dusting of snow.

This.

It's a joke anymore. They postponed school here, yet it's sunny and the roads are clear. :facepalm:

I guess I would rather they be safe than sorry.

I can understand the canceling of school simply due to the lack of visibility. It was pretty bad at times.

Up in KC. Down in the badlands of SW Kansas I could see 10+ miles.


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

[Ceej]

Maybe the superintendent was just being super nice by letting the kids have an additional day for Christmas break.

I'm surprised the Topeka area isn't on Christmas break yet too.

[DrunkBassGuitar]

I live north of wichita, and they didn't even bother treating the roads. 135 was iced over when I tried going to work. Decided I didn't want to take 2 hours to go to work so I turned around and went home.

We got an inch of snow. I wonder what will happen if it actually snows...

[Chiefs Pantalones]

We got 20 inches of snow over the weekend and nothing stopped. Y'all back home get 5 inches and it's the apocalypse lol.

[Bearcat]

More like an inch or two... happens every year. It's a northern state when it comes to snow, but a southern state when it comes to preparation, snow removal, driving, etc.

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

[Predarat]

Do you know what tomorrow is?

Yes and that makes it even worse, you only need 1-2 days worth, these shitheads are buying a weeks worth.

[chasedude]

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]

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! :D

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. :facepalm: Women drivers.

[Predarat]

If the Mayans are right, we won't be around to give a fuck hahaha.

[Frosty]

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. :banghead:

[gblowfish]

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.

[ndws]

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.

[htismaqe]

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

I am a little west of you and we have supposedly gotten 12. Can't tell though because the wind is carrying it all away.

12 inches in Des Moines. Almost everything, work and school, is cancelled today. Time to make a pot of coffee and grab the shovel.

I woke up seeing it wasn't as bad as I expected. But the snow has picked up again. Good thing I found a covered parking spot in the garage unlike yesterday.

The snow has really tapered off here. It won't be long before it does where you are at.

I had a few inches of snow and wind blowing hard enough to uproot a tree in my front yard and nearly crush my prized man-mobile.

They got snippy with me for reporting the outage twice.

I said "mam, I didn't initiate either call. In both cases, your automated system called me to inform me that my power had been restored when indeed it had not."

I'm not counting on ours being on for very long.

Just clocked a 55mph wind down the road.

[mr. tegu]

The problem wasn't the snow this morning in KC it was the half inch of solid ice on the road. The highways were littered with people stalled on the side of the road. Plus you can clearly see the spots were people collided with barriers. Luckily most people were only driving about 30 mph. It amazes me when I talk to people how few of them realize they need to drive in a lower gear.

[shakesthecat]

Power is back on for now...Went with the better half after work today to here. It's days like this that make dealing with a possible hurricane no big deal. Good trade off. Just saying.

Did that 50 minute commute through two tough winters. The biggest danger was the idiots going to fast and then spinning out in front of you.
