Snowpocalypse

Tuesday brought blizzard conditions and about a foot of snow to Kansas City. Because KU closed campus, I was able to stay close to home and get some work done at a local coffee shop, but because of the crazy blowing snow, even the cafes and restaurants closed early. I took this photo leaving One More Cup at noon, when about 5-6 inches had fallen. It wasn't too bad to walk through, but driving seemed rather difficult as the plow crews had a hard time keeping up with the windy conditions. The state went so far as to close Interstate 70 across Missouri for the afternoon and overnight, and Joe was sent home from work early. A dramatic start to February!
