Amazing how fast things change here and how slow the storm is at moving on. Our original plans were to be on the road today back to Oklahoma to get the house ready to rent… ( move out all the remaining items). We delayed that a day figuring that the storm that hit us since Friday night would be moving on… not so fast buckwheat… I keep checking the road conditions between here and central Kansas and then south and guess what… I-70 has been closed all day today from state line to Salina due to this big storm… Here, we spent about 6 hours shoveling and moving snow… ( I need a tractor but no place to store it so the HOA doesn’t complain)… but even with that poof it is disappearing very rapidly now that we have cleared the drive..
I measured that that jeep had over 9 inches on the top this morning… yes I moved it and drove to town and back , that removed a lot of it but that walk and the bush in front were stacked tall and now… poof. There was a 2 ft. drift in front and back of the jeep before the shovel…
Just to refresh it was this way and snowed all day yesterday… and the wind blew…
Now it doesn’t look like we even had a big storm but hey it got up into upper 40’s this afternoon from a 20 low.
On my way in town at lunch time I captured this picture and have to feel sorry for the fool that drove off the road..
You can see the snow plows didn’t feel too sorry…
Oh well but like I said looking at the road ahead, we may be waiting another day or at least some of it???
Most of the road doesn’t look too bad although you can see “NO TRAFFIC” and cones at the Russell junction and then…
East side of Colby,KS at 8 pm, they aren’t even plowing the interstate other than one lane in this area and from the looks of the pass it is deep (on the road)…
Guess we will see how it looks in the morning?
