I'm in KC and it just started snowing. The whole city is racing around preparing. Stood in line at the pharmacy for an hr just to pick up a script I called in two days ago, and another hour at the grocery store. After the foot of snow we got on Thursday, I'm curious to see what happens. The residential side streets were not well plowed and there are cars still buried from the last storm. The shoulders on the interstate weren't cleared, so there is nowhere for vehicles to pull over.
I am prepared enough that I won't need to leave my house for at least a week if need be. If the power goes out, that's another story. My house is all electric, so it will get cold quick. But we didn't lose power with the last storm, so I'm optimistic.
Quoting: KungPowMeowMeow We did ok here, but we were on the south end of the storm. Power didn't even flicker, but today, my internet keeps going down. The wind with this storm is crazy and it still hasn't slowed up. I'm watching our local weather channel and the cams are moving all over the place. The streets in Lubbock don't look too bad, TxDOT must be on top of it. I was just going to type that I wish for cams out here in the sticks, but NO! What was I thinking!LOLOL Blizzard brain!?! Lol, yeah, the fewer cams the better. That's good to hear about the power staying on. Hopefully it'll be the same here. The snow started about 2 hrs ago here and is a pretty wet snow, and it was above freezing earlier so the streets were starting to get slushy. Its a double edged sword though. If it stays warm the snow will be heavy and wet, and that increases the chances of power outages due to tree branches falling under the weight and taking power lines with them. If it gets really cold, we will have ice glazed streets and cars with the new 12 inches of snow blowing us to hell. 2 blizzards in one week is unheard of! Even two for the whole winter around here is rare. Some of the trees were already budding out last week, and we should have daffodils popping up in a couple weeks. WE were at 70 yesterday, before the front came through. We've been in the 60's - 70 for a few weeks. I'm kind of surprised there wasn't more severe weather on the east side. It sure felt like tornado weather here for a little bit yesterday. At least you guys have snowplows up there. We don't have very many. There's not normally a need for them.
