Got a call from a KC institution today wanting me to move there and do a project. Threads like this remind me why I left.

That’s what happens when you have a bunch of graduates from the Debbie Dugan truck driving school

Dootson

Ask me, I'm Debby Dootson.

OH MR FLORIDA COMPUTER GUY TOO GOOD FOR KC

Streets of course are shit in KC but I bitched enough to city leadership they atleast kinda plowed my street

Loved living in KC. Hated the winters.

This has been the worst I've experienced and it hasn't been that bad assuming one isn't homeless.

Harden up.

I sent my mom the tweet with the crash video - causing much confusion.

Somehow she discovered that heart-eye emoji and uses it all the time even right after reporting on a death.

You forgot - it's starting to stick in Olathe

You like it 90 degrees and swamp ass?

I only mind the typical short spells where the temps get below 20. Otherwise I like winter more than summer. Anything over 85 and humid in the midwest is just unbearable to me.

The summers are worse...I can explain that in quick fashion on top of swamp ass my bills are cheaper in the winter.

Yay more snow tonight 8 inches Tuesday too

I have nothing that says more snow Tuesday, where are you seeing that?

love how all of you can only measure 8

Bunch of complaining pussies in here.

Joe Lauria last night. Looks like its 3-6 now.

Working on location in Miami all week. 80 degrees. Eat me.

Too hot.

You living in AZ takes away the right for you to judge any damned body in this thread.

I spent 25 years in Montana.

You guys are pussies.

Plus, not my fault for you guys continuing to live there.

Blow on him to cool? :shrug:

It's not so much the amount of snow, it's that there's not much of budget for snow removal and preparation, so a few inches has a huge impact.

freezing rain moving on from the west but looks like it will go north of the city

PBJ Let it SNOW, Let it SNOW, let it SNOW! :rockon:

I remember the snow and cold of the 1970s and the heat of 1980.


I was stuck in -20 weather in Overland Park in 1979 with my new (used) car that wouldn't start. I froze my ass off until my dad showed up to get me going.


I worked as a landscaper at what is now Overland Park Regional Center in 1980. Eleven straight days of 100+ temperatures, one day below 100, then 6 more days of 100+. I wonder how those sort of days and temps would be reported now?


ARMAGEDDON!

Explains why u are gay

If knowing how to drive in the ****ing snow makes me gay.....

consider me Freddie Mercury.

Peeing your pants makes you Miles Davis.

So 25 years in Montana then jumped ship so as you could for warm climate :D

I hate this ****ing weather. Seems to be the worst winter I can remember and thats not only because of the snow, but it seems like its almost been non stop cold except for those few nice days thrown in there.

So I looked up the number of days 50 or above from Dec. 1 to today Feb 16. These were from reported highs in downtown KC.

2016-2017 (29)
2017-2018 (30)
2018-2019 (21)

So this winter has been real shitty in regards to temp, but on top of that it keeps ****ing snowing or icing.

Absolutely.

See all the bitching in this thread?

Move then!

Spent the winter of 80'/81' in Gloucester, Mass. out on Cape Ann, working outside, welding rail road tracks together. About a month stretch the temps bounced around 10 above and 10 below, remember one day wind chill was like 25 below. Damn wind blowing in of the Atlantic at times made it that much more miserable. Spent the previous summer in Texarkana in those MF'ing over 100 temps welding rail out on the line.
As a young man I think I dealt with the winter the best. At least you could dress for it. That summer was brutal.

Bitching about bitching awesome!

I could bitch about your mom but she’s ****ing me too hard right now!

TM's mom's name is . . . . Peg?

Touché!

ROFL

It's actually me Lew is speaking in code. He didnt give me the nickname Genghis Khandom for nothing

I remember the coldest night ever in KC, -23 . My friend's heater could barely heat the house. I got to huddle with my friend, who happened to be a super hot chick, all night on his hide-a-bed just because it was so cold. I thought about trying something but it was too cold. We just wanted to stay warm.

The next day my k-car was the only car that started.

There should be zero days above 50 from Dec to Mar. It's called winter.

Downtown KC is always reports 5 degrees warmer or more.

I remember going out in the middle of snow/cold spell that lasted for weeks. When it warmed up to 38. I went out in shorts and a T-Shirt and was comfortable. Now, it gets below 60. I'm cold.

Got some graupel last night, and a little ice on top of that.

Moar snow on the way

Can't wait to get snowed in on a snow route because of where I work

Heard lewdog had to ice his graupel last week.

G E T C O Z Y

I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow right as this shit is about to hit. We'd best not get cancelled, I'll have a pity-meltdown.

Then my bud lets me know that Thursday it's supposed to get into the mid 20's in Vegas with like a 40% chance of snow. I'm actually taking a heavy coat to Vegas. What. The. ****.

Vegas got hit with snow today.

:facepalm:

Have a great trip!!!!

HEY
What happens in Vegas STAYS in Vegas.

I saw on the twitters that here in Iowa, where I live now, out of the 48 days we've had in 2019 it has snowed here 38 days. I'm so over the ****ing snow I want 100 and July -- And we are supposed to get 6-8 more inches of snow tonight. I hate it I hate it I hate it

I had some frost on the top of the car this morning. Brrrr!!! It's cold here in Scottsdale.

Does that count? :D

That's why Iowa is soon to be my former home. :)

My work has been considering relocating and I was so for it, and they just decided to stay in Des Moines. If they weren't a great company to work for, I would probably be looking for a job somewhere else.

Luckily I work for a large company as a teleworker so location is irrelevant for me now.

MPLS is 4 inches away from being the snowiest Feb ever.

6-8 tomorrow. 6-8 Saturday.

Maybe more next week. March is usually the snowiest month. Ugh.

Some parts of Northern Arizona are looking at 18-24 inches Thursday/Friday... overestimating a good amount could still mean a foot of snow.

Oh if it does just go to Funhouse Pizza with the family!

This February is crazy and it looks like the low temps are supposed to continue into March. On the plus side, I'm no longer having to listen to the hand-wringing about the snow pack being too low.

At this point I'm relatively certain that if we were even going to Cabo San Lucas that THEY would end up with 2-4 inches of snow. (The frozen kind, not the kind that is usually around those parts. Heh)

Doesn’t suck this time of the year down here. Usually much milder. But, I’ll take it.

That is how the GF and I feel too. Seems like everywhere we go south during winter we bring the cold weather with us.

We've set records for snowfall AND temperatures this winter. One or the other is bad enough but BOTH? I'm moving. SOON.

And here is where I'm moving to.

It feels like it is never ending. Someone said to me the other day... remember this when its 100 in July... except I freaking love summer and the heat. Give me 100 any day over snow and negative temps and ridiculous wind chills

Trade a few months of possible snow for 9+ months of guaranteed unbearable humidity.

We get 4 months of unbearable humidity here...

AND 4 months of guaranteed below freezing temperatures.

Plus the people all think they are really important ROFL

This weather is trash

Sledding should be the best it's been in a decade.
Unfortunately I turn 50 tomorrow and am to old for that shit

We've been rolling down the dead water side of Truman dam the past weekl. Fun times

I've noticed how bad the weather has been north of Springfield this year. It's been a start contrast to the weather in Springfield and south. It's crazy. Kids around here have either had no snow days or maybe one in the districts that cancelled because freezing rain was forecasted, but then didn't come.

Seems like buffalo has been the cut off point

So tired of my damn kid getting snow days lol

They are forecasting an ice storm down here tonight.

Minneapolis and St. Paul have called off school for Wednesday.
We have not received ONE SNOWFLAKE yet and are calling for up to 6 inches.

We are now officially ****ed as a society when Metro Minnesota schools call for up to 6 inches of snow.


Yes, MPLS roads are crap. But so is everything else in that town.
