Its 33. The light snow I saw at midnight got serious to 4"-5' of wet heavy snow and closed 122 schools in Kent County including GRPS, EGR and Kentwood. 3 that rarely close.
If the temp stays up the road salt can work before predicted colder weather rolls in sometime Thursday.
Snowmobilers south of GR might have more than 48 hours to play.

34 and snowing here at my office in Farmington Hills. Roads coming in from Livonia were unacceptable until I crossed the county line into Oakland County. It's amazing to me how Wayne County is so bad at this.

I know it's very rare, but in case prayers didn't work, I snapped this picture of my illuminated jacket on my morning run.. so my wife could avenge my untimely and unnecessarily violent demise.

10-15” supposedly now.
Meijer and Walmart were madhouses today. We got a foot on Tuesday night/Wed morning. Roads were completely plowed by noon. People are dumb.

5”-9” by end of day Saturday around here. I love a 2-day storm with lots of blowing and drifting, but I’m hoping for more than what’s predicted. I’m so effing sick of all the grays and browns.

Livonia snow totals are now expected to be in the neighborhood of 4 inches total.
Once. Just fucking once I'd like for one of these fucking storms to be worth their hype.

I'm never sure but what I don't know is the SO's lookout.

No bad weather as of yet.

I think the snow drifts will ultimately be the issue with this one, though when I was listening to the Mid Michigan weather on WKAR, it sounds like Mid Michigan should be getting more snow than us out here on the east side.

Looks like 1-2 inches on the east side. Get your generator ready though. 40 mph winds.

And ice. High winds will re-freeze mekted snow. Drive safe all, even if it doesn’t look that bad.

I was just reading Ontonagon County only uses sand on their roads no salt. Interesting. Mostly because they don’t want run off into Superior not because of temps. You’re talking over 200 inches per.

agree - they can plow and clear all the fallen snow, and then the wind will likely be blowing snow from the fields of Webberville back onto I-96.CaptainSlow33 wrote:Robert J Sakimano wrote: daughter lives in Ferndale - she and her bf were considering driving to EL tomorrow to stay the night with us, but we'll what the weather is like.

My county back home briefly used sand on the country roads for a while. It did nothing to melt the snow and ice, but it gave decent traction, which made sliding a fairly rare occurrence. They stopped using it because the Amish and the old busy bodies complained that it was messy.
The business park where I work coats the road with a beet brine before each storm. Roads will get a bit slushy sometimes, but they have yet to freeze over in the time I've worked here. Something I can't say for other roads in the Metro Detroit region, where I'm convinced that road crews are trying to kill us.

Re: Post your current weather status
Places like the UP & MN use either a sand calcium chloride mix or just sand.
NaCl stops working all that well below about 20 degrees F and stops completely at about 5 degrees F, CaCl is good to about 25 below zero F. When it drops below that the snow isn't that slippery anyway as it needs to melt to be slippery and the sand adds some friction if it's needed.
One problem with sand though is it can get caught in the storm drains and plug them up.

It sounds like ontonagon does so because so many miles of road abut Superior. I imagine the temps also are part of the reasoning.
