The Blizzard's Aftermath

2011-02-02-08-45-56-406

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday's blizzard is gone, the sun is shining, and Kansas City is digging out. It is still frigid however, and the temperature is predicted to dip to -10°F (-23°C) tonight.

Driving around downtown this morning is much easier than it was yesterday afternoon. Here are a few photos of conditions this morning.

The thermometer on this building couldn't be more wrong, though we may wish it was 74° as displayed! (Click on the photo for a larger view.)

Blizzard in Downtown Kansas City

2011-02-01-14-41-55-752
Here are a few photos I grabbed on my phone this afternoon while driving towards downtown Kansas City from north of the Missouri River during today's blizzard. Anyone familiar with approaching downtown from the north knows the skyline can be seen easily when approaching the Broadway Bridge. Due to today's weather conditions there is no hint of anything on the other side of the river.

The last photo is among the most striking to me. One Kansas City Place is the tallest building in downtown Kansas City. Even though it is less than three blocks east of where I took the photo it is completely invisible due to the blowing snow. It will be a few days before Kansas City digs out if we get close to the 12" of snow predicted for the area.

Children, Why Not Play Amongst the Headstones?

Rural Missouri sometimes does things just a little bit differently. Sure, the festival may not actually be in the cemetery but at first glace it's hard to be sure!
