Calling for anywhere from 5-10 inches of the crap in NE Kansas starting today at noon.

Good luck to all your backs after shoveling it.

All day Tuesday, before the storm hit, they said Lake Shore Drive would get hammered because of the wind coming in from the northeast and warned people not to drive on it. Very difficult to have sympathy for stupid people.

I like how the county scraped the road to the caverns down to blacktop but still havent hit my street. Really pissed me off to see em scrape pavement and not hang a right on the rural route and keep on towards the cave. one who sucks the penis mother****ers.

So Fantastic Caverns entrance is clear but they won't hit the rural routes.... Who still goes to the Cavern in a blizzard? Sorry to hear that MO.

Yep, no mail yesterday.

After clearing the driveway with the snowblower, I ran it down the sidewalk and then shoveled the front porch. The side walk was drifted over almost 3 feet deep.

For good measure, I also cleared a path for her between both of our neighbors yards.

5 cms yesterday, 20 last night, another 4-8 comming both Sat and Sun

Alton deFlat · 02-03-2011, 12:36 PM

We got about 20" of the crap. Roads are still pretty much crap, including I-44, which I seldom travel. There was an accident on it this morning, not too far from here.

Well, good thing I'm not going west. That and I've got 4WD.

I have to say I'm impressed by the way this storm was handled. There was plenty of warning, so everybody had ample opportunity to prepare. My office cut everybody early enough on Tuesday that I made it home before the worst hit, and wisely stayed closed yesterday. There is obviously a shit ton of snow everywhere, but I'm in downtown Chicago right now and the streets and sidewalks are clear, and the roads were (for the most part) clear in my suburb last night. It seems the government responded to this mess efficiently and as well as could be expected. From what I've heard, there was only one-weather related fatality up here, and it was some reerun who was wandering around by the shore of Lake Michigan at the height of the storm (certain Darwin nominee right there).

To all the people who busted their asses dealing with this crap so the rest of us could basically just get a free vacation day, here's to you.

I hope you all got a ton of overtime pay and spend it on something nice for yourselves.
