Oh, that looks fun. I'm fortunate in that we don't have cars lining our street.

I have been stranded at KCI. I was trying to get back to Chicago so I could be at home this weekend but that's not gonna happen tonight. And depending on weather might not happen tomorrow either. So nothing to do but sit back and relax while still on the clock!

that would suck pugsley . but glad your in a hotel in some city's people are stuck living in the airports because there no rooms avail. my Daughter and Brother in-law were some of the lucky ones last night they got a room's at a Holiday Inn express. and were booked on a flight at noon today to Tampa .but then it was a broke plane . not the weather that grounded them.
even do I'm surprised they didn't just put them on a that was grounded due to the storms . my guess would of been the airline would of done that -but no they gave them meal tickets of a whole $6 to use in the airport . then a $25 credit card , booked them rooms for the night.
why they do things like this make me wonder. but I'm sure there a lot that behind the screens that were not aware of .like maybe there mass paper trail that used for each and every plane . they cant just change a planes call sign to move it over to a different route . I know these planes fly for hours each day and they swap out crews after so many hours or take off's and landings or miles flown . I know one time I was to go on a plane that broke down. they had us wait for a replacement plane to arrive from Atlanta . even do Detroit is one of the airlines main hubs. but im sure there were grounded flights sitting at Detroit metro .that could of been used last night.

we got buried, tryed to dig the wifes car out today so I could go and try to pickup my car which is in the shop. No go, her car has 4 inches of solid ice thanks to the drifts and crazy wind. Also found out I wont be able to get off the campus I live on until sunday due to the staff being on break since the kids are. I late getting a trade out, still havent been able to get my daughters christmas gift out. Hoping for clear roads and sun on monday- it will be my birthday so hopefully that counts for something, but this winter storm is still going over 24hrs later, state of emergency has been declared in the tristate area- complete mess. To add to the pile my lungs are burning and in pain because going from 40-50 degrees to 10 with a winchill of -4 is extreme for someone with my issues, as I type I cant move my neck or lay flat- going to have to sleep in a chair tonight (joy)
heres wishing you all the best in 2014 and a prayer for all thoose out there that have it much worse. With my father having a less severe form of asbestosis then I do, and his age (4 back surgeries) amoung a host of other issues due to age and being a firefighter for 47 years, I sure am glad hes doing winters in arizona. I think a montana winter this year my have killed him
Love and peace to all- happy new year

the trick w/street parking is finding a spot { not easy on a normal day }, so that the snow plow doesn't pile up the snow on the driver's side,, : )

Well, here we go. It's a high of 43 degrees today and almost all of the snow melted off. By Monday we will supposedly be at 2 degrees and have about 6-12" of snow. That's Missouri for you.

the snow has started again and they say 8- 12 inchs more depending on were I look online and the TV. I think its a guessing game .on the other side of the state were my wifes sister lives (grand Haven ,Michigan ) .she said they were getting what seem like 100 mph winds gust's coming off of lake Michigan. all stations showed heavy snow falling .

I just got my snowblower serviced and we haven't had enough snow (yet) to use it. I'm thinking about heading down to Goodwill for a pair of cheap skis to cut off and bolt under the skids.
