I'm a very cautious driver in general, hate to be in a hurry, and especially in the snow. I know my vehicle handles like shit in slick conditions(it's rear wheel drive), and even more so ever since I threw the 20's. This is some bad shit though. those streets haven't been hardly touched.

Bummer for you teachers. Seems a little asinine they would make the teachers show up.

Well, at least you know your limitations in this shit. You'd be suprised how many people drive everyday like it's sunny and 70 (and not just those in Olathe, either).

I work out of the UPS hub in Lenexa. If I went in, I imagine I'd just be getting there. I start at 2:30.

Outer edge has hit up here. Already three or four inches on the roads, traffic barely moving, and of course the mother****er had to hit on trash day so one of my garbage cans is gone with the ****ing wind. Found the other one halfway down the street. And, of course, as soon as I get settled in and comfy, the wife, who just started a new job, call needing a ride home from work.

Not exactly sure, but I saw that the roof collapsed at the Hard Rock casino in Tulsa due to snow....

MoDOT Closing I-70 in Boone, Cooper and Callaway Counties
Travel Throughout Most of the State Is Not Advised

JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Department of Transportation is closing I-70 in Boone, Cooper and Callaway counties due to whiteout conditions. It's unknown how long the closure will last.

MoDOT and the Missouri State Highway Patrol are advising people not to travel. Most state highways are covered with snow making travel dangerous. Already some areas of the state have received up to 12 inches of snow, with more accumulations expected.

"This is not a good time to be on the road," MoDOT Director of System Management Don Hillis said. "Almost all of the state is covered with snow and some areas are receiving ice, making some roads impassable. Please stay home if you can."

MoDOT is coordinating its emergency response operations with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the State Emergency Management Agency and other partners.

If you do have to travel, MoDOT urges you to plan ahead, take your time and know what you're up against by checking local news sources and the department's Traveler Information Map. The map gives drivers an up-to-the-minute view of road conditions for major Missouri highways. Conditions for major routes across the state are color-coded to give visitors the information they need at a glance.

Travelers can also call MoDOT's toll-free number, 888-275-6636, to get road condition information.
