kro10000 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 I'm just sick of the snow, yesterday morning I was cruising to the junkyard with the windows down, then suddenly on the way to Lawrence the temp just dropped.......... :fs1:
89eliminator Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 yes this sucks. absolutely beautiful this past week and now its snowing.
streetjeep2.5 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Been so wet in central MO the farmers are getting cranky 'cuz they can't be working their fields, and around here we have a business that makes the staves for oak wine barrels, but it's so wet the loggers can't get any trees out so they are having people stay home instead of work. Not good! Oh, yea, and we are getting the rain side of Clinton MO and Leawood KS weather!
Geonovast Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 It's supposed to be back in the mid 60s by Tuesday though. :brows:
jpdocdave Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 i'm with ya, i hate this. 60's last week now snow, i'm fed up with snow.
Lenard Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 It's crazy. (for march anyway) we got at least 6" right now, with some good 2-3' drifts every were. I hope it gets up to the temp they are saying for tuesday. :shake:
87Warrior Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Friday night I made the 120 mile interstate trek back to my home town, where the MJ slumbers waiting for work. At the beginning of my trip light rain had started and slowly changed to heavy. An hour down the road it starts sleeting and spitting snow with the temps holding at 35. The Jeep is purring down the road at 75mph while battling a 30mph cross wind. When the sleet formed a slushy ice bath on the road, I dropped my speed and came upon many illuminated brake lights. Found a newer Corolla shoved in the ditch, flashers on, idiots looking around at their car. Much to Squirt's disgust (the stray dog I rescued), I pulled over and asked if the group needed help. It was clearly a group of college graduates (one dude, two chicks) from the big city headed back to their alma mater, K-State which is mine as well. The fellow starts jabbering about some 18 wheeler who made him "wreck cuz of the snows." I inquired to see if he wasn't sure that his gas pedal got stuck causing the accident. He did not get the sarcasm and started telling the 18 wheeler story again. I pulled the car to the shoulder of the highway and rolled up the straps. The three were truly great full for the assistance and wanted to pay me for my time. I told 'em to just help out somebody, someday and that would be good. That was still not acceptable to one of the gals because a tow truck would have cost them several hundred dollars. So I gave her my cell number and sometime next week I am supposed to get a Chipotle burrito paid for at lunch. Turns out we all live in the OP/Olathe area of KC. At least I got the bed pulled off the MJ today and found minimal frame rust under there! :bowdown:
DJM/78 Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Yeah , you can blame it on us Colorado boys for sending it all your way . If you want to know what your weather is going to do just look at our weather . Almost every storm this year that was pushed over the great divide , was sent directly to you guys express mail . :waving:
jpnjim Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 It's 70* here right now. :cheers: (first time in Boston this year). Happy Spring. It's back in the 40's now. :nuts: 70 degree's, on a Saturday that I didn't have to work, probably won't happen again for a loooong time. :ack: Oh well, 40-50 is still 'good working on Jeeps' weather :yes:

Geonovast Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Are you guys new to KS and MO? Get used to it. This is what happens during the spring in KS and MO. Willy Me? Yes. But I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm pissed that I'm getting so little snow. I want more. I'm from WI, I'm used to the beginning of spring bringing days with a High of 70 and a Low of 20.
pilotblake Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 We got 3-4" but it was gone by today. This is the first year I can remeber that we had an inch or more of snow the entire winter. It was a crazy long depressing winter, and I love snow.
87Warrior Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Haha. Born and raised in KS. I remember a late April ice storm that caused major power outages many years ago.
