Monster Winter Storm Takes Aim at One-Third of U.S. (Live Thread)

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- A monster winter storm took aim at a third of the nation Monday, threatening to lay a potentially deadly path of heavy snow and ice from the Rockies to New England, followed by a wave of bitter, bone-rattling cold that could affect tens of millions of people.

Cities including St. Louis, Kansas City and Milwaukee could be hardest hit, with expected midweek snowfalls of up to 2 feet and drifts piled 5 to 10 feet. Even hardy Chicago could be in for its third-worst blizzard since record-keeping began.

"I wouldn't want to be on the road in open areas tomorrow night," said forecaster Tom Skilling of Chicago television station WGN. "I don't think I'd want to be driving in the city either. The fact is people die in these things. They skid off the road and go wandering around in whiteout conditions."

Warmer areas were not safe, either. The system could spawn tornadoes in parts of the South.

The lower part is from 1860. That’s when this farm was created. The landlord is exploring a new roof. It just won’t be a 2 story anymore.

I can assume that in the 40s you break out the lawn chairs, shorts and beach umbrellas?

My niece has been attempting to get her SUV shoveled out in. Only to take it into the repair shop. Someone cut off her catalytic convertor right before the storm! The mechanic told my brother “Welcome to Chicago!”

I’ve never been good at pretending. Sometime when I’m not half asleep I’ll tell you about my only foray into playing with a Barbie doll in 1960.

Well, it is a little hard to pretend when it’s 40 degrees out, even if the wind blown sand and wind blown snow look somewhat alike.

No idea where my niece is (in the city though), and she was hoping to get dug out today (Monday, 2/7).

LOL!

I never had a Barbie doll. I had for some reason old fashioned cloth ones. I remember a friend who had one and the vinyl had such a horrible smell.

What a bunch of crybabies.

It takes time to clear a mess like that in weather like that. What on earth do they expect?

And no food or water? You should ALWAYS carry some with you in the winter. And watch the forecast. It’s not like the storm caught anyone by surprise.

What were they doing out in it anyway?

Honestly, WTSHTF, I can see who the first to die off are going to be.
