I'm in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, and I stayed home from work today (thank goodness I had a few extra vacation days). It just wasn't worth the bother.
This is excellent news for individuals to evaluate their emergency preparedness state. Hopefully all will learn lessons from this. And quit whining - "Where is the government to give me stuff!!!" - of course.
Mid-Missouri got plenty (maybe as much as 10 inches; drifts to maybe
a 18 to 24 inches deep).
All of the six major state highways that radiate out of Jefferson City
were marked "impassible" as of 9AM.
Interstate 70 was even shut down for most of it's western half in MO.
It was a true snow/sleet storm for sure.

I want my FEMA travel trailer.
Thank God for logs, beer and my Laptop with battery and Sprint Broadband card...
It sure looks like it sucks up there :-)
P.S. - It's now 72 degrees in Washington D.C. - I love it!!! Went out for a 24 mile bike ride earlier today...
Yup - and it'll barely receive a mention on the MSM until it hits the East coast. THEN IT'LL SUDDENLY BECOME THE STORM TO END ALL STORMS!!
I'm waiting for liberal's shrill cries of "racism" because President Bush hasn't visited the snow yet.
Women, children, minorities and the poor hit hardest.
For another weather/climate story not making it onto the MSM radar:

Oh, who am I kidding? It's being suppressed because Al Gore wouldn't
like any MSM outlet brave enough to print it.
