It just started snowing here in the North side of KC. Ten inches to a foot of snow predicted! Already have today off, & prob'ly wont make it in Friday because we live out in the country. No roads get plowed till the neighborhood farmers do it.
Anyone else hit by this storm?
We are over here but not that bad! Ice and rain and sleet and thunder and junk. No snow to speak of, but ice danger! Hope everyone stays safe and warm. :)
Lots of ice here in Springfield. No snow that I can see. Just freezing rain with thunder. MSU cancelled school today, and of all days, it was today that I couldn't find myself able to sleep in, LOL.
Hasn't started here in Central MO yet, but we didn't have school today. I doubt we'll have our tomorrow as well. 10"+ predicted for our area.
about 8 inches of snow here, since 5:30 this morning, more coming
30 miles south of topeka, ks
Here in Little Rock, RAIN RAIN & RAIN! It's 10:00 in the morning and looks like 10:00 PM! We had moslty sleet & freezing rain yesturday, but the roads were managable for me to get to work and back home.
Just started here in stL about 30 min ago, big hamster sized snowflakes mixed with ice pellets.
Mostly ice and freezing rain here in NW Arkansas. Wife and other family braved the weather and commuted to work today. I have a few days off, and am staying put here at the house. I strongly dislike travel in this weather. Best wishes to you all, hope no one looses electricity.
Had a pretty good bout with Thundersleet this morning.
It has slowed down alil', but here's what we look like after 5 hours..
Thank Heaven for the neighborhood farm boys!
Yea, its wierd to hear thunder with snow/sleet. I heard it this morning @ 4:30 when I got up. We got mostly rain, which Eastern Ok. desperately needs.
Howdo: After seeing the picture of the outhouse, make sure I don't come visit you in winter! (I have scary memories of visiting grandma and grandpa's farm in Illinois in winter, and the outhouse being far enough of a trot away from the main house that it was better to "hold it" or use the under the bed chamber pot if things got really bad! :D)
:D Dont worry Junior, its just for looks. ;)
WHEW! ;D
well as of 5 PM most of our weather has stopped here in SW-STL. I measured 4" of a sleet-snow mix. They called work off for tonite. WHEW (Of course it didnt keep me home). The Jeep does real good in this stuff. I was all over today. I like snow, even sleet is not bad. I sure do feel sorry for all you in the south that got hammered with the ICE. I pray that you all are good. Lots of luck. Please hang in there.
I live in Stanton, MO. We got it really bad. I don't know how many inches, but I did hear sleet hitting my window for most of the day. I wasn't allowed to leave the house which meant I was stuck inside with my family complaining about each other ALL DAY and fighting over the TV. I hope tomorrow (or later today) that the roads clear up.
12 inches her officially, sun is out today. Would have been much worse if we had wind with snow, but didnt :).. now to finish digging out.... supppsoed to get below 10 degrees tonite.. :o :o :o, not counting wind chill....
COME ON SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got out today. Once off the side roads it wasnt bad. We didnt get slammed but it did get us two snow days!! :) I imagine it will be gone tomorrow. Pretty good deal!

Central Illinois didn't fare too badly. We got 5 inches of snow, I'm guessing? It came in really quick - golf ball size flakes followed by a good dose of ice. I hate ice! Majority of school districts are closed. As it warms up today and melts a bit, it should re-freeze just about the time for people to get off work. It certainly could have been a lot worse!!
We got 14" or so, which is more than I ever remember having. My adult son shoveled out behind my Equinox so I could get out to go to the store today. I usually grocery shop on Saturday mornings and we eat out Fridays, so we were getting low on food around here. Could have made it another day but really wanted to get out of the house, too. Haven't had school since Wednesday and we all had Monday off for the holiday. Now there's another storm coming in Sunday into Monday.... I'm ready to go back to work!
Shoot I dug out yesterday during the storm. Went everywhere yesterday. Now today (Friday) after the storm. I had to take my new kitty to the vet. I also got called in to work tomorrow. Even though they shut the plant down yesterday. They are going to pay us OT for Saturday. YAY!!!!!!!! I dont plan on getting the new car out in it till Saturday. I have an AWD Jeep, why drag the "brand new" front drive car out unless you have to.
Here in SE Missouri went to bed Thursday morning with it cold. Got up at 2:00 with ice over everything. Went bed Friday morning with ice which had all melted away by 1:00. Wife said it sounded like a war zone with all the trees cracking as the ice melted.
2 degrees here this morning, -3 wind chill...... :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
More snow expected monday??
Come on Spring
