Today's Poll!Capital City begins to dig out
Wednesday, February 2, 2011
The start of trying to get back to some sort of normalcy after a record-setting snow could be seen Thursday morning in Jefferson City.
Streets in the downtown area were passable, and some store owners had gotten to their shops to open them for whoever could make it in.
Sidewalks were cleared or being cleared.
Road crews were out in force, hitting the main roads first to get them in as good a shape as was possible.
Law enforcement still was dealing with stalled out cars that were left in the middle of streets that needed to be moved for street crews to get through.
Emergency officials continue to urge citizens to stay at home today so that the road crews can be unimpeded to clear the roads.
Few if any power outages have been reported around Mid-Missouri.
Road crews still hope to get the main roads ready so that most citizens could get back to work on Thursday.

What happen to grammar and spell checks?? In this very short article, there are three errors.

Please point them out for me. Depending on what you think they are, I might, as a former English teacher who enjoys discussing usage issues, be inclined to agree or disagree. I see one colloquialism that's not typical of formal writing. What are the ones you're referencing? --Rick Brown, online editor, News Tribune

perhaps he did it from his ipod or ipad without a spell check function? For those of us used to next generation, open source, news often ignore this type of mistake.

That's just sad that the "next generation" finds laziness and unprofessionalism acceptable. If one is to be a journalist, one should already know how to spell without spellcheck.

next generation, open source, are usually not "professional". most are independents running blogs and twitters giving very localized news accounts. I would never penalize them for giving up to date news.

If you come plow my street that has not been touched, and help push my car up the hill of a driveway in my apartment complex that hasn't been bladed, then I will GLADLY go back to work. Thanks buddy!

are you kidding? with all the layoffs under nixon its like working in a sweatshop. I wouldn't doubt he plans on offshoring some of the work to china or vietnam where slave labor is legal.

I'd like to thank the good samaritan who drove by when my wife and I were shoveling our driveway. His truck had a snow blade on it and he cleared the last and hardest 4 feet left when the city plows cleared the street. After that he drove on, asking only for a thank-you.
