Second night now of cold and incredibly slick conditions here in St Louis, although tonight we also have some snow on the way (great, snow on top of roughly 1/4 inch of ice, should be particularly festive tomorrow).  Last night, my normal 1+15 commute home from Scott AFB took 4+30 but, fortunately, I managed to get the Kia into the driveway without hitting anything or anyone.  Prez Steve said it took him something like two hours to get home, adding I-44 at Antire Road was an absolute mess.

From glancing at the local news a couple of minutes ago, it appears we’ve had another large number of accidents locally, sadly including a fatality on I-255 on the other side of the river.  The good news is, once this snow passes, it’ll be mostly clear for the next week or so BUT, severe clear weather means particularly cold nights.

BTW, while crawling past Plaza Frontenac last PM, I did see something different pulling out of the mall lot: a Kelmark GT.  A running Kelmark GT, bright yellow, complete with sliding plexiglass side windows and thundering VW engine hanging out the back.  Tried to get a photo despite the dark, slick conditions but wasn’t quick enough…maybe I’ll run across it again.
