We got snow here in Missouri last night, this isn't unusual, most states get snow; however in Missouri this is different.
Usually the streets will be plowed or cleared quickly, however the interstates, which are the main means of transit for people through out the state are left with snow on them, leading to ice.
No plowing, no deicer or salt on the highways, just allow it to freeze so that people have to drive very very very slowly, even if they have snow tires.
I have never been more terrified than I was today, traveling with my wife to get to college. I kept praying that we would get to school without any accidents taking place.
Yet as I sit here, I have to wonder... how is it that the state of Missouri can be so uncaring for its' citizens, when it would not cost that much to see that the highways and all means of access were salted or had deicing on them to make transit safe.
Come on Missouri, step up to the bat, and think about safety for all.
