Okay so last week my husband missed 3.5 days of school due to ice and snow. This week he has missed the past 2 days due to freezing drizzle and rain, and then dealing with what has melted has refroze (we have a 4 inch sheet of ice in our parking lot from what has melted/refroze). Now, we are having a thunderstorm?!?!

I do not get it? Then on Friday, the high is 11 degrees!

I hear ya, Michigan has been pretty messed up as well. We have gotten more snow then ice, but it still sucks. I woke up this morning to it pouring...it is supposed to be 50 degrees!!!! It is NEVER that warm in January. Friday of course it is back down to like 7 degrees so we will have ice EVERYWHERE. Saturday and Sunday they are expecting snow... this winter has just been SO crazy.

I know what you mean. It has been really icy here. In fact the wife of the VP of Sales at my company was killed in a car accident Monday night. Her son (18/19 years old) was in a car accident and asked her to come get him. As she was getting out of her car another car slide into her and killed her. She was only 47 years old.

I'm hoping the roads are fine this weekend because we are supposed to be going to Kansas City, MO to see family.

Oh my gosh that is awful! That poor family!

I am near KC, about 40 miles from, so watch the wearther.

If you go to google.com you can type in road conditions and it brings up links to tell how roadways are. Right now it is probably just wet, since we are having a thunderstorm!! Friday it will be very very cold though, so stuff might freeze back, whatever has melted anyway. We are supposed to get more snow/ice I think on Sunday or Sunday night, I will watch the news tonight and tell u what KC is calling for(our news station is out of KC). Also if you wanted to go to www.thekansascitychannel.com That is the news stations website you can check out too if you wanted to.

The son was also hit but he is okay. His knee is swollen and he is in the hospital but he will be fine physically. He never lost consciousness, so he probably say his mother die. They don't think she was killed right away. She died either a few minutes later, on the way to the hospital or when she got to the hospital.

Her husband was on a plane when it happened. He got off the plane and was met by 2 people from his Church. He doesn't know if the driver was hurt or charged. He doesn't even know if there is a policy report.

Hopefully there were cops there from her son's accident... that story is heartbreaking

 

[LexiAndNikkisMom]

It was actually a 5 car accident. Tom (the husband) contacted his insurance company and asked them to look into it.

ya, it's been a crazy winter here in Indiana too. 2 FEET of snow for Christmas, only to melt 5 days later..followed by tons of rain, now we have major flooding. The high today will be 68 but in 2 days it will be 20 w/an overnight low of 5!!!!

 

[Boom Boom's Mom]

I wanna move back to MO so badly...

Anyway.. here in WV lesse... It flooded September, then we had a semiwarm early winter... then we missed the big ice storm.. it flooded last week... and now its doing it again...

we've missed days this year, but only for flooding...
