If you leave snow on the ground the sun will melt it a little and then that water freezes over night. That's how you get icy paths.

If you sweep it up in the morning while it's fresh, literally with a push broom, the sun melts what little remains and the water runs off. The sun heats the dark sidewalk surface. No ice. Just keep sweeping every morning when more snow falls.

No ice. No salt. No hassle.

Glad to see the NWS has revised our upcoming snow accumulations to a max total of 8 vs the 11 it was this morning. 😱 #KC-ish #Missouri #snOMG

Today the universe gave me a gift so I paid it forward.

I received a text from a kind person reaching out to let me know my package was delivered to their building by mistake. When I called the company to let them know what happened, they said they wouldn’t charge me again after already giving me a refund.

I sent the kind person a gift card. It’s treacherous out there + they didn’t have to walk over to me.

Thank you, universe!

Fuck off! Nope!

My reaction upon seeing the massive amount of snow outside my window.

I shall not leave my place until we are returned to our regular weather programming. I’m not yet on stable footing without this white stuff.

Today’s #TMYK (5/365) is learning the name for a thing that I knew existed and could describe, but didn’t know the phrase for.

“Galloping lines” are when ice builds up on wires making them more susceptible to wind. That’s the top concern for our electric utility today as we work through our winter weather which apparently now includes a blizzard. #TMYK365

#KC #Missouri #KCwx #MOwx #SnOMG #Blizzard

Today's concerns:
Galloping lines
When ice freezes on power lines and equipment, it causes the lines to twist and sway with the wind. The lines then slap into each other, which damages equipment and causes blinking lights and power outages.
This is called "galloping lines."
If you see a galloping line, stay away from it. Ice can be thrown off the line or the line could break free. Both could cause injury to anyone standing nearby.

Hey, frozen and/or snowed in friends. It’s a hard time to be a bird out there.

If you can, your feathered friends need food, but more importantly they could use some unfrozen water. They can eat snow, but melting it lowers already low body temps and burns calories needed for survival.

BONUS: You’ll likely be the only game in town and get quite a show 🤩

The winter weather has arrived! I took one step on our front deck and about lost it with a pretty cool slide. The security cameras caught it. Ha!

Despite the glazing of ice, our power grid seems fine… for now. Evergy reports 9 outages with just 40 households affected in the metro. Not bad! #KC #KCwx #SnOMG

OK, #KC-area people. I’ve gathered all the heavy duty extension cords, bought some ethanol-free gas, filled a few gallons of drinking water.

Later today I’ll dig out the snow blower, find the snow shovel and change the oil in the generator.

All of this to say, because we’ll be prepared, you probs have nothing to worry about 😅

The KC metro area might get walloped by some winter weather this weekend. Estimates are all over the place.

One thing I do know is that Costco and ALDI look like they've been ransacked. I don't think I've ever seen ALDI as bad off as it was tonight. MANY empty shelves and sparse stock on everything else.

🚨 French Toast Alert System warnings going off. 🚨

Below that, text reads: The temperature in Lees Summit, MO is currently 31°F.

Looks like it might be time to run to the store for some milk, bread, and eggs!

Happy winter solstice!

Since I’m having a resting and healing vacation, please enjoy this pic I took on this day last year.

Square pic of a large snow bear that looks like a giant gummy bear. Seen in Victoria Park on a snowy day. Tree debris is used for the eyes and nose and is mixed in with the snow. The ground is mostly covered in snow.Square pic of a large snow caterpillar. Seen in Victoria Park on a snowy day. There is a lot of tree debris mixed in with the snow.

Been a snowy winter for some. Not so much for others. #NEwx #snOMG

Update: Winter is still here.

Some ski fans around Charlotte have been talking about the potential for snow on the western side of the northern NC mountains for days. Coincides with a public school three-day weekend.
It's here.
