Pop quiz, hot shot. Why was I putting air in my tires at the gas station this week? Answer - because Missouri potholes are even worse in 2024 because of the crazy weather changes.
My Missouri family like many Missouri families have gotten that phone call you never want to receive. The news that a family member has perished in an accident is becoming an all too familiar event in the Show Me State and data shows the numbers are skyrocketing.
I was born and raised in Missouri and first learned to drive in my dad's pickup truck. How many in the state still drive pickups? There is new data and the number is mighty impressive.
I don't think I've ever seen a more crazy winter weather moment than this one. There's an insane video showing what I believe is a firetruck in the St. Louis, Missouri area doing a complete 360 in a neighborhood after hitting ice.
We already know that Monday morning could see icy conditions in most of Missouri and Illinois. But, now new models show that danger is increasing greatly with up to a half inch possible in some places according to the National Weather Service.
It likely won't last long, but there's a good chance that much of the Monday morning commute will be a bit perilous for parts of Missouri and Illinois thanks to a sudden ice event that forecasters expect to happen.
I have driven these Missouri roadways so many times in my life, I completely understand why a new national survey has declared them among the 'most loathed' in America. Been there and done that.
I do understand their reasoning, but I must admit that a part of me is also disappointed that the federal government has told Missouri that it cannot use funny road signs anymore. Just the facts, mam.
It's common sense to move away from any lane where you see an emergency vehicle along a roadway. In Missouri, it's more than just a good idea or suggestion though. As a matter of fact, you can get a serious fine for violating Missouri's Move Over law. It can cost you seriously big bucks.
