just got home. while sitting in the office i realized that it was very stupid to be there. no one else was. so a drive that usually takes 10 minutes took over an hour to get home. got stuck twice. had to dig a path for my tires with my BARE HANDS.

HR has instructed us to stay at work until the "crews" have a chance clear the roads. I'm walking around the building deciding who I would eat first.

heaviest was west of MHK last night...east this morning. Looks like MHK won't get as much as others.

Agree, but the storm is just starting to move east far enough that we will start to pick up the stuff in the west and the direction of travel flips.

Cruising in eastern Colorado after sleeping in burlington. Roads are fine now but passed about 7 cars and 2 semis in the ditch...

Was real bad between Russell and hays, we were going 20 and following random tracks for about a hour. Less than 20 ft of visibility then.
