    Ice all over Kansas City, wrecks everywhere. Expecting 2-4" snow also. I won't be moving for awhile.

    Yep just because clock starts at 0300 doesn't mean wheels will be turning until daylight.

    I watched the Indy news this morning. People are trapped on parts of I-465 due to wrecks and have been sitting there for up to 10 hours so far. Really slick around Indy right now.

    From East St. Louis yesterday through to West Saint Louis took me 7 1/2 hours. Today almost to Kansas City and stopped again at mile marker 35. Supposedly a Truck rolled over at MM 28. Probably take another 7 hours I bet.

    It's like flying a helicopter. Get too lazy on one of the controls and the entire bird goes all over the place!!

    You all be careful think it was either Indy or Baltimore with a 55 car pile up and 3 deaths so far.

    Baltimore at Canton Ave Bridge at 95 was two deaths this morning, it was 31 and lower in spots by the water. instant ice.

    Anyhow tornados possible this afternoon then flooding for KY and TN and then more of the icing after on back side of this wave. Probably Memphis-Indy-Detroit. Once temps drop tonight whatever is wet is ice. We expect 23 by Midnight or later.
