I've a spare set of snowshoes you are welcome to borrow next time. Looks like you made it through one of the rare Missour-Kansas deep dumps (former Kansas City suburbanite here). Love your pics.

Although I am not pleased about having to change jobs, my new one I start next month has a very comfortable commute---one flight of stairs to my basement office where I will be working from home via computer for my 40 hours a week. Saves on gas and having to worry about your kind of meteorological predicament, no pager, and no night call or weekend work, ever. Heck, now I can really wear whatever I want to work---kilt, jeans, pajamas, even nude if the weather gets too hot.
