Danger danger on I 96.

Multiple spin outs and accidents on both sides of the road. Road seems very icy. If you are going to the game travel with caution.

I just helped trailer two horses down 96 and up 127 dwags and tbh I’m glad I’m alive that was scary and a mistake

We made it though. Two wheel drive truck. Still gotta be hyper careful on the way home

We left the game at the end of the 3rd quarter. Because I'm a pussy and was wet and cold. I still don't understand how my long johns were wet, but outer clothes weren't. But also because we knew the roads would suck and be madness leaving with everyone else. Even with only going a shorter distance staying overnight in Jackson. Accidents left and right on 127. We couldn't go more than 35. I'm sure it was so much worse on 96 and 94 heading back.

Road crew planning gets a big fail today. This snow was known. 20+ cars spun out on I-69 on the way to the game at 11am. At least 4 slow downs for wreckers/flashers. They were out. They knew. Zero salt trucks.

Two big in State games. Holiday weekend. Lots of travelers. It was not hard to plan some pre-salting.

Drive home was worse, but salt trucks were out. Everyone was crawling home. I'm mentally spent.

The announcers on TV mentioned seeing multiple cars that had spun out on their way to campus.

Drive home was worse, but expected. Salt trucks were out at least. But they were no were to be found on the way up. Roads were worse, but expected. Everyone crawling home. I'm mentally spent.

I never had this happen to me before but, on ice 696 at or near Royal Oak exits, where you have those big overpasses, that form icicles. I get to them, and there’s four utility trucks lined up shoulder to shoulder stopping all traffic. Evidently, icicles had formed and were falling onto cars windshields etc., so they stopped all traffic and knocked all icicles under those huge overpasses on 696 near Evergreen Royal Oak in that area. Traffic was stopped for 15 minutes

I’m not going anywhere near Dendro’s post because I don’t want Turtleneck yelling at me again.

There's a snowplow, salt truck driver shortage in Michigan: What it means for roads

Two kids? You peed yourself. One time we were in Traverse city and my wife and I and our daughters had to run across the street from our hotel because traffic was coming we got to the other side of the street and my wife says, “shit let’s go back I just peed myself “. Of course we all started laughing, then she said to my daughters hey look this is your fault it’s what happens when you have two kids

I was joking.

I somehow escaped that side effect from kids.

I did notice the icicles were gone on our drive back today
