MO/KS DU'ers-ready for snow?

My area is on the line. We can get anywhere from 2-8 inches tomorrow morning.
Guess I'll be logged in here on my day off of work!

3. You have a chance of snow after 3 am.

I'm supposed to get quite a bit, according to Pleasant Hill.
Kid may not have school tomorrow.

5. KCI isn't supposed to get too bad

but there could be delays(we both know how KCI is!).

I'm laying out school clothes for my daughter tomorrow but I plan on getting up early to keep an eye on the weather. Warrensburg has a 90% chance of accumulating snowfall starting at 3 am.

15. Yea...I'm that person.

I gave up SUV's and now have a ford taurus with the world's worst tires. And the tires are only a year old. They even suck in the rain.

16. doesn't make you that person.

The person I'm referring to is the person who goes 90 an hour and slams on their brakes in the middle of a large patch of ice.
Or maybe they drive like that only in JoCo, MO.

19. Looking at the radar on Weather Channel's website

The line is heading almost directly east, which, if the temperature holds steady we should get a nice bit of snow.

But it's CRAWLING!!!! Get here already!!

21. Oh Yuck!

Is it headed straight east? Usually in Columbia we get what you folks in KC get, but ocasionally it misses us if it's headed northeast.

22. It looks as if it

is moving 10 miles north for every 50 miles east. But that's just an estimation.

23. Southeast of KC.

I'm in Warrensburg. That makes me in the direct path of the storm. And I'm on the line-could be up to eight inches. Advisory goes into effect for Johnson Co. at 3 am w/ a 90% chance of accumulation.

You're under an advisory also.

24. Crud!

Edited on Mon Jan-09-06 10:47 PM by ccjlld

Looks like my drive to the dentist in the morning could be fun. They do a pretty good job of clearing the streets here. Hopefully by the time I leave, most of the morning rush traffic will have cleared.

Gotta love Missouri weather! It was 65 yesterday and two days later is gonna snow!

On edit, meant Crud not crude

25. No wonder why we're always sick!

Thank goodness I don't have to work in the morning. I worked the weekend so I already had the day scheduled off. But I have the feeling they might call off school in the morning.
Guess I'll be getting up early to check out the website!

26. Update:

per KCTV (Channel 5). Heaviest snow to the south and east of KC (that's still me).
Advisory now starts at midnight and 2-4 is no longer an option. Now it's 3-6 and 7-10. I'm still in a grey area. They say I'm 3-6 but Pleasant Hill still has me on the border for 8 inches.
Tomorrow is gonna suck.

We are getting an early start just in case.
