Great! Now we get to read for days about the KCP&L "FAIL" for not getting power restored to everyone within 30 minutes.
ReplyDeleteThe City missed my trash pick up this morning! What will we ever do?
ReplyDeleteOn top of that: DEAD TREE MEDIA FAIL!
ReplyDeleteMy newspaper isn't here yet! Oh, woe is all of us!

ReplyDeleteWelcome to February. We have one of these epic ice storms about every 10 yrs. The last one was in 2002, so we were due. That is KC in February (I hate this month, it should be executed)
ReplyDeleteWell, we had a pretty epic blizzard on Feb. 1, 2011.
ReplyDeleteWe also had a pretty nasty snow storm, followed by temperatures below zero, in early January 2009.
I guess we really got spoiled last winter, although the lack of snow was pretty early in a very severe drought.
I'm guessing farmers all over Missouri and Kansas must be doing cartwheels now.
