Made it through the snowstorm.......

Great win for Mizzou last night against the Arkansas Razorbacks. I went down to Columbia last night in the midst of a snowstorm to go see the game. There were some cars on the highway that had no business being on a snow-covered road in the middle of the night. Most of them ended up in the ditch. There were also some semis that went off the road. My question is why those semis were even trying to drive through that weather. They have a hotel room in the back of their cab. It's not like it is that difficult to just pull over and sleep off the storm.

We made the 100 mile trip from Columbia to Blue Springs in about 2 1/2 hours. So we averaged about 35-40 MPH, which wasn't too bad given the conditions.

The only real problem was the blowing snow. We got back at our meeting point in Kansas City and found the two cars we left there both sitting in snow drifts. One side of each car was snow-free with the other side covered by a snow drift. We spent about 10 minutes cleaning off the cars and then I helped push one of the cars so they could get out of the deep snow in the parking lot onto the road, where the snow was cleared off. Everybody got out and home just fine. Despite the storm, we had a good time.
