It is fun to watch the cars try to make it up it. Even more fun to see the people at the bottom still try when you can see traffic stuck in the middle of it not moving.

You need to put that on youtube. Stupid drivers are always entertaining.

I need to pick up some tow hooks and a winch so I can make a few $ on days like this.

We usually ustream it so people on the backside of the building can watch.

We're only getting freezing fog and mist. Can I have your snow?

it always cracks me up if I go to the store right before a storm like this one comin. There will be no milk, no burger, and one or two smashed up loaves of bread left on the shelf. Remember people, it isn't the apocalypse, its just some snow. People in Canada live in it 9 months out of the year.

It's Kansas people, can we just wait to see how much snow we actually get before doomsday is declared?

These dipsh*t forecasters call for 6-9'' a few times every year and we end up with a dusting. Before I start freaking out, I'll wait to see if snowmageddon actually happens.

Obviously not the same hill, but I envision this...

After the last snow, we watched a truck go about halfway up a steep entrance and slide down into a tree. An SUV did the same thing a little while later... got about halfway up and ended up sliding down into the truck. Then a 3rd truck tried the same thing, and came really close to hitting the SUV. Then a 4th person in an SUV tried, slid all the way down and jumped a curb, tried going back up two more times before giving up.

I sit a few cubes from the window, so I'd just wait for the "Oooohh, aaaahhh... HAHAHA!"


We also watched 3 plows drive up/down the just outside the office, and only the 3rd one was plowing... and the steep park entrance wasn't ever touched. People are idiots, but the city seems to be less prepared for snow (or spend less on its removal) every year.

Only for the idiots. So yeah, we are ****ed.

Last snow fall, guy doesn't realize he's in the left hand exit only lane to Metcalf on I35 S. Instead of just biting the bullet, he whips into the other lane, loses control and takes out 2 cars who were driving cautiously. Watched the whole thing in my rear view.

JFC that may be the worst one I've seen.

If I don't puss out and call in to work, I advise everyone to stay the hell out of my way since I'll be in a tractor and pulling two trailers to St. Louis. (hopefully they'll get wise and cancel the runs, but I doubt they do it)
