Drove from St. Louis to Kansas City yesterday between 8:00 Am and 3:00 Pm. Normally a 4+ hour drive took 7 hours. Saw lots of small spills, cars off the road and 2 semi jackknifes. Did it with a 2004 Outback with directional all seasons. 25 to 35 mph from St. Louis to Columbia, and scary visibility from time to time.

Damn straight!
I frostbit a couple of finger tips walking to junior high school with wet gloves back in the dark ages. Hurt like hell when they thawed out, and I learned not to do dumb E36 M3 like that!
We have blown wet snowdrifts........we were barely able to get 1/2mi up the road last night with the new f350 to get generators going at my grandma's. Today, we tried to plow out a bit......that led to the plow truck stuck, the f250 hung up attempting to pull it out, and the f350 stuck buried up to the hood. 
. Thankfully our power came back late last night, so our big agco tractor was plugged in so it would start. Got the trucks unstuck, and the wind isn't stopping, so we are definitely snowed in until the wind stops and warms up slightly. Then we can probably get the blower out on our medium sized tractor. We are going to need it too, the only things our county has that can get through this are their v-plow and front end loaders.
Here's your Zombie Snowpocalypse Vehicle.
28 mph road speed isn't superfast, but should be adequate!

my 92 year old grandmother moved into assisted living.. her house sold and is going up for settlement in 2 weeks. He has been living there helping her and getting the house ready for sale, so once it goes to settlement, he is out of there.
Personally, I was hoping it could wait till spring too
Greetings from being snowed in rural Indiana.

Lady on the news asked if we had been transplanted to Hoth, hilarious.
My back yard looks like Narnia.

Lol what channel? Jerry Anderson of WTOL bought a medicine cabinet off me the other day.
Aaaaaand we're back to a level 3 snow emergency as of 4am due to blowing snow and ice.
Suddenly this game isn't as fun as it used to be.
In reply to beans:
Not surprised really.......we finally managed to get the half mile to my grandma's house.
After the truck thaws out, were going to make an attempt to get me back a 1/4mi south to my house.
