Kansas City Snow Plow Map Exposed

Every year Kansas City denizens "rediscover" this tech that's actually nearly two decades old.

A bit of backstory that most residents might not remember . . .

Again . . .

We're not casting any hateration on this tactic . . . Merely noting that "the science" and local data maps don't always reflect reality. 

In the meantime . . . Here's a bit more info . . .
