    Crashes throughout the plains..... The first to paragraphs of the story, writer is in VA (byline).

    McLEAN, Va. – The death toll rose to 10 from weather-related crashes, and almost 60 million people were under weather alerts Monday as a second storm pounded much of the Midwest and East with snow, ice and a wintry mix.




    Four fatalities were reported in Missouri, three in Nebraska, two in Indiana and one in Kansas. The National Weather Service posted winter weather advisories – hazardous conditions expected – for more than 53 million people and winter storm warnings to nearly 6 million more.

    43rd Ave closed both ways at Buckeye due to someone being flattened by big truck. The traffic snarl shall be epic.

    I was watching the news the other day about the "winter weather that is crippling the Nation". I was lol'ing the whole time. It was only two inches you silly people. Of course the images showed people using way too much accelerator and inability to deal with a dusting. Sheesh people, Sigh

    At any rate, a new list of wakeup music.

    Is from my tripod mounted camera, if you zoom in, you can see its at 70 mph, but most were running 40 with flashers on

    This is ridiculous. Picked up truck last night. Didn’t make it a mile. Drive shaft fell out. Still problem with air. Tow truck driver told him this time; Definite air problem. At least he’s changed his dismissive patronizing attitude. Left there last night with;”I’ll call you tomorrow.”

    Those drive shafts that are held in with air pressure never have been very reliable.
