"Typical media "severe weather" hysteria.
There were wandering snow squalls in motown. So? Jumped in my front drive station wagon, with second hand snowtires I got for cheap on eBay, and went about my day"
I know that is one of your favorite rants, and I definitely see that, although I
don't watch much news. But the weatherman got this one right, this was a very severe and dangerous storm across much of Michigan. Up here, everybody has seen bad winter
weather and knows how to take precautions, but a lot of people have to go to work
and deal with the road conditions, they can't just lay low like us retirees. And people travel to this region for touristy stuff, from all over. So the weatherman was
100% correct to call this out for its severity. It stopped me from driving up
to the UP for some recreation, the driving was horrendous in the northern lower,
going over the Mac Bridge, and in the entire UP. It was really bad in the Yoop.
A friend just drove up today from downstate for some downhill skiing, and he said I75
and the other connector roads were terrible. And that's a day after the worst of it,
when MDOT had been working on the main roads all day.
This one wasn't hype.
