CELEBRATE THE KANSAS CITY SNOW DAY!!!



I gotta be honest . . . Snow reporting isn't really my bag because the coverage is pretty standard, usually very sappy and mostly involves goofy reporters doing live shots on the crappy streets of this town.

Trends . . .

This is basically the day Kansas City stood still

Thankfully, most utilities are up and running so the situation isn't really so dire and mainstream media is mostly responsible for keeping people in their houses.

Most of this will melt by the end of the weekend so I'm wondering if I can get out of shoveling.

And now the avalanche of Kansas City snow links . . .

Mayor asks you to tweet ‘acts of kindness’ during storm - TKC hasn't been outside to step over a hobo all day.

Tony, I think you need to give credit to the Mayor here.

His people went into work today and snow removal is moving much better than in other times.

There is a definite improvement in morale and things are actually getting done.

I know your readers like to bemoan every aspect of municipal government but this is a situation where the Mayor and his team made things better. It's time YOU took notice.

By scaring the Evil White Man out of Kansas City, we have set up all our friends to rob the city blind and turn Kansas City into Detroit.

This is good.
Repeat
This is good.
Repeat
THIS IS GOOD!

Snow removal my ass. In Brookside we hired a private contractor to clear the side streets because we NEVER see a city plow. Fuck Sly and his Al Sharpton loving ass.
