7:30 AM – My 1989 Oldsmobile Culass Cierra has bald tires, no fan motor for heat/AC/defrost/etc, wipers haven’t been changed in 9 months, radiator leaks – quickly, right headlight broke out … I think I’ll stay home today. 15o
8:00 AM – Local news/weather reports ice is over, but 3 – 16 inches of snow likely tonight! Weatherdude warns of record snowfall. 18o
5:30 PM – Snow has been falling steadily since about 3:00 this afternoon. Here’s a peek from my cell phone. 16o
Right now we are at about 3.5″ or so, and it’s supposed to let up about 9:00 tonight. The snow is now falling much lighter than earlier, but it still is coming down.
What happens during the 9 months between last year’s last snowfall and this year’s first that makes people forget how to drive in this stuff? I figured Kansas City drivers would be used to this weather … or any weather … but no, it starts to rain or snow or sleet and these drivers will go from 80 MPH and no cares to 30 MPH and freaked out in the blink of an eye.
Hmm?
