Weather Christmas Blizzard of 2009 - Page 6

So, looking at forecasts. Sounds like people in KS/NE are going to get hit hard.
3-6 inches is forecasted for the metro area right now, with some models showing 6-10. That's a lot of snow. Wish I lived in Olathe where the forecast is for 79 degrees and sunny all week.

I attempted to go to Iowa for Xmas. The black stallion doesn't quite have the handles in the snow. Had to turn back. About got hit by a semi. I'm not going back out for a couple days. Christmas alone for me

Nothing in Springfield yet. They said it would start around 10pm. It was originally 3-5". Then, it was 4-8". Now, they're saying 3-6".

Actually most do very well, it's all the plowing that really screws things up.

Truthfully they rarely plow the roads around here, other than the drifts and a little sand on the intersections. Mainly for the fact they couldn't budget enough for snow removal without breaking the city/county.

they have never plowed in town with less than 6-8 inchs on the ground

I never have any problem getting around, no matter what type of vehicle I've been driving. The only issues I ever have is with drivers not from here or new to the area.

just my .02 worth

We've been very lucky in Chicago so far (knock on wood). It was cold as hell earlier in the month, but we've only gotten a few inches of snow here and there. Right now it's raining, and the temperature is hovering in the mid-30s. The roads are wet, but not icy at all.

If it was ten degrees colder we'd be buried in snow.

My BMW's traction control went out and the ABS no longer works. That is all that is wrong w/ it and it is $2400 to fix. Handles great even in rain, but when it snows all hell breaks lose. I about get stuck in my driveway.

Sad when its colder in Texas than Chicago lol. 4 inches, and snow drifts.. Climate change is a b*tch!

**luv** · 12-24-2009, 10:09 PM

Well, shit. Can't snow here without ice first. Everything is covered with sleet.

**luv** · 12-24-2009, 10:18 PM

How does a forecast change in the same newscast? They're now "guessing" 1-3".

That sucks you should get some kind of refund. Maybe a flash flood or cyclone or something.

Amen luv. We went ahead and came to Mom's yesterday evening because of the forecast. Glad we did cuz I heard from a friend that went from KC to Manhattan and it took her over 4 hours to make a trip that takes a minimum of an hour and 45 minutes. And she left around noonish. Sure we probably could have done it but it was better traveling last night in spite of the fog and mist. More time with family is always better. (at least for us)

Tulsa is a frozen wasteland. We lost power for about three hours earlier, but it's back on now (thank you Broken Arrow PW!).
High in the mid twenties tomorrow, so the snow will stick around. This will be the first white Christmas my kids have ever had. It should be fun.
