Pls clear snow off hood/roof/lights of ur vehicle b4 driving. Snow flying off ur vehicle is a serious danger & distraction to others. #kswx

Make sure u have a fully charged cell phone w/ u today. It's not a day u want to be stranded on the hwy in historic #insanecold temps. #kswx

by KCMetroKDOT via twitter 3/3/2014 12:16:41 PM
If u get stranded/stalled on the hwy, dial *47 or 911 to alert law enforcement to ur location. Stay in ur vehicle w/ ur #seatbelt on. #kswx

If u see a plow on the rd, pls b patient & give 'em room 2 do their magic! They r out working 12-hr shifts to make the rds safe 4 all! #kswx

by KCMetroKDOT via twitter 3/3/2014 12:23:20 PM
Why no treatment on the rds? Rock salt/salt brine generally don't work when temps r 15 degrees & below. Overnite record temps: -2 & -6 #kswx

KDOT snowplow crews have been plowing round-the-clock to clear this weekend's winter #kswx sleet/snow off NE KS rds. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BhzZb0LCMAAm2TQ.jpg

KC's had below zero temps in DEC, JAN, FEB & MARCH. This has only happened 2 other times '79-'80 & '61-'62. #kswx @NWSKansasCity #insanecold

by KCMetroKDOT via twitter 3/3/2014 12:45:39 PM
We agree! @MoDOT : Drivers-take ur time & buckle up. Very few hwys are "clear". Don't expect to drive the speed limit - at least not safely.

by KCMetroKDOT via twitter 3/3/2014 12:50:51 PM
Many routes remain covered/partly covered this a.m. If you have to drive, please buckle up and go slow! traveler.modot.org/map/?district=…
