it's snowing, Wisconsin cancels... Everything! (Milwaukee, Kenosha: credit card, buying, schools)

it's snowing, Wisconsin cancels... Everything!
seriously Wisconsin, I'm driving in the snow storm right now talking into my cell phone to send this message. It's on believable how many people drive at 10 miles an hour with light snow and in the left lane I'm pretty sure they're going to spin out and not make it home. In the meantime, County snow piles are sitting at donut shops smoking a cigarette and drinking a cup of coffee doing absolutely nothing. Why cancel everything after school if this were Alaska they would think nothing of it but here in Wisconsin people treat it like its 8 national disaster. Honestly, how do people survive everyday life?any excuse to digWisconsin?and why not, it's only a misdemeanor!I honestly believe Hummels are better suited to survive in Wisconsin and the moolies
that live here now.
and what's up with all the check writing? I'm standing in line yesterday, and I 35 year old woman is buying a loaf of bread, she wouldn't tell her checkbook and spend the next fine for legitimacy to have a checking account so she can buy a loaf of bread. Anybody ever hear of a debit card. A credit card? Anybody?come on, who seriously write checks in this day in ageever notice when you asked someone here question but they don't really answer the question you ask but give you a long rambling dissertation about directions to the local 711?the world is divided into 2 types of people, leaders and followers. Wisconsin I find, is comprised mostly of followers. In this world, there are yes people and no people. Yes people take charge can make decisions and are not afraid to say no. The know people can only say no because they cannot accept responsibility for their actions. They want to pass the buck. They are ignorant.just which group the majority of Wisconsin nights I think fall intom?
now I'm reporting from Highway 43, and the left lane is traveling between 35 and 50 miles an hour with about an inch of snow on the road. The right lane is crawling along in about 20.in the past 30 miles, I've seen 1 County snow truck.
of course is blade was to feet off the ground, he was not plowing the highway. I just saw a car pulled over to the side with its flashers no smoke. No flat tire. Just a driver sitting staring straight ahead. He must of just had a meltdown from all the tiny flakes falling around his car.visibility is now down to 1 quarter of a mile.right and left hand lanes are now down to 15 miles an hour, way to go Wisconsin!this is America free reporting from Highway 43.

Maybe the driver has other car trouble than what you can see as you drive and talk. Maybe he is texting and was smart enough to pull over to do it.

The woman writing a check, well she may have a debit card, used it for an online bill or something and forgot to put it back in her wallet. If it troubled you so, why didn't you ask her why she still writes checks?

Leaders and followers, nothing new there. It's hardly exclusive to Wisconsin. Leaders are often in that position due to power and wealth, it hardly makes them moral, ethical or honest. Not all followers are mindless idiots, nor are all leaders, brilliant statesmen.

Would you rather people drive like fools in the snow, especially in pm traffic. I would say it's an idiot that drives without caution thinking there is no difference than on dry pavement.

It was nice to see the normally kamikaze Milwaukee drivers use caution for once.
The snow was coming down during rush hour faster than what the road crews could keep up with.

Hmm. OP.... Judge much? Like anything? Anyone? Anywhere? Your posts are very angry. Maybe it's time to look in the mirror. Maybe Wisconsin and its people aren't perfect, but I'm sure you aren't either.

We're getting hammered in Kenosha, especially from the lake to the interstate.

Winter Storm Warning in Southern Wisconsin

Snow accumulations: 5 to 8 inches of snow through midnight generally along the lake shore counties and southeast of I-43. Storm total snow of 6 to 10 inches. Highest amounts in the far southeast, and along the lake.

Not sure what part of WI the op is talking about, but in northern WI it takes a lot of sow to get then to cancel anything and the drivers don't slow down until there is over 5" on the ground.


Hey, did the op know that plow drivers are people too?
They get to take breaks, lunch etc etc.

Sometimes they'll will wait to just a couple of hrs before rush hr then plow so the streets are clear for the masses.

I'm driving in the snow storm right now talking into my cell phone to send this message.

I stopped reading your post after I read the line in bold. People who talk on the cellphone while driving are the reason so many innocent people get killed. Get off your stupid little cellphone and pay attention to the road! Gah.

[mrs.cool]

The only thing I saw cancelled last night was some events at Beloit College.

[NoJiveMan]

Kenosha schools were closed today. WTMJ stated Kenosha received 12 1/2 inches, ABC7 Chicago said Kenosha received 13 1/2 inches. I'll say we received 13. It's still snowing. I heard Sheboygan received over 16 inches.

I agree with quert, put the phone down a drive.

OP is critical of people and what they do in Wisconsin, well, at least I-43 is a FREEWAY, and nothing like the Ohio Turnpike.
