Title: Midwest Winter Storm 2019
Post by: AKKuya on January 12, 2019, 08:38:53 AM: Here in Columbia, MO, we have over 12 inches of snow and more to come. Power out in some areas and roads not cleared. My living room looks out onto I-70 and traffic is good around 50 to 60 mph for best guess.

Last year, Elon Musk made an announcement that his company was going to manufacture personal flamethrowers at around $500. Turns out that was a little joke. I was disappointed. I had plans to get one and when the white stuff fell from the sky like this. I was going into the snow melting business. That would have been a lucrative racket. People would pay lots of money to see that done.

For those who are affected by this, stay safe and inside. :salute

Post by: Meatwad on January 12, 2019, 09:33:06 AM: The heavier stuff went farther north and west of here then forecast. Was supposed to have 8" by now but its 5" and I dont expect to see any extra even though its still in the forecast. 35 degrees here and its already starting to compact and melt away on the roads.

EDIT - Some of the winter storm warnings south of here have been cancelled. Expect this county to cancel early also today
