There was a brief period of warmer temps with rain today. Now the temps are dropping like crazy and there is bound to be some nasty black ice on the roads later.

Please don't rush when you are driving tonight. If you are careful and take your time, you might arrive a little late, but you will arrive alive.


I hope everyone has a safe and merry Christmas! :gift:

We have a snowfall warning here. Was kinda funny since I was driving behind a plow on the way back from work yet there was still a few inches of snow. I think he forgot to put the plow down. doh.

In north GR we're getting some snow... I guess we're supposed to get somewhere around 3-5 inches tonight.

Yea, my car got stuck this afternoon because all the powdered snow had turned into super heavy wet snow. Now all that wet snow is gonna freeze rock solid.

Yep. The driveway is already a big pile of slushy nastiness. The roads were nice and clear when I was out earlier. Now that it has rained and the temps are dropping, the roads will still look clear but will have a nice glazing of ice.

It's been snowing the past couple days (MI here too) so the roads are pretty crappy. Yesterday I was going to a haircut appointment after work and even though the road looked clear, when I hit the brakes it was slippery as fuck. Good thing I left enough space between me and the guy in front, and my car barely fishtailed.

I am in MI. Glad I work out of home although most people don't have to work today or tomorrow. Make sure you keep them gas tanks filled...

And your cell phones charged! Nothing like having a dead cell phone when you are stuck in a ditch.

Good thing we are supposed to warm up on Friday and Saturday so hopefully most of this snow will melt by then.
