Or anyone else.

> BTW, I hear you guys got a little weather up that way.

Mostly south; we in KC just got the appetizer over the weekend. We're
due for the full meal tonight through tomorrow (though not expected to
be as bad as in ought-deuce). Guess I better get some Pepto-Bismol,
as that kind of weather can cause indigestion. It did provide me a
chance to perform a successful function check of the transfer case on
my Jeep.

OK, rub it in.

I'm not worried about getting around, as far as handling the
conditions per se. However, it's the other drivers that concern
me...their IQ and sanity level is somewhere between that of S&DDAM and
that of GPSTroll. I know, not a wide range there.

In about 3 weeks I'll be taking a 5-day break from the mess by
escaping to Texas (D/FW & SA).

Sounds like tonight is going to be your turn. We've been getting it
since Saturday, and this afternoon it finally warmed enough to give us a
bit of a break. The worst is from Wentzville west and north. Wright
City, Warrenton, Moscow Mills and Troy are all basically without power.
I-70 was shut down in Montgomery County for a while on Sunday because
of power lines down across the highway.

The Spfld, MO, Tulsa and OKC folks have been getting hammered pretty
good, too

Take care,
Rich

God bless the USA

I've oft wondered how SFB can handle that beater in the CO winters -
especially with the bald tires....

I doubt that the sandpaper treadwork helps traction much if at all.

Certainly. Possibly YouTube additions as well.

We're getting hammered right now in Kansas City. The freezing rain
started about an hour ago and is expected to last through tomorrow
with up to 2" ice accumulation, and possible snow tomorrow night of up
to 1" on top of that. Just entering a vehicle may not be a viable
option, let alone operating it to get to work.

It's pretty much the same here

In fact, it's supposed to get up to 70F tomorrow, so I'm going to get
some riding in
