Michigan's first snow storm of '08!

I hate michigan......I made the mistake of taking my car out yesterday and got stuck in the snow 4 times within a mile, plus it doesnt help that they dont plow most of the streets where i live

We got 12'' in Grosse Ile / Trenton

You **** at driving in the snow then cause I drove from Woodhaven to Milford and back and only got stuck once. Its all about momentum!

Whenever I drive my s-10 in deep snow I try to time everything so I don't have to completely stop at stop lights. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I wouldn't say this Michigan's first real snow of the year. The Friday before the week of Thanksgiving saw a couple feet as well. But yeah, Friday afternoon while I was work we got some here. Because when I got home the roads were clear but I had 2 feet in my driveway. My 4 wheel drive Blazer (which is a light vehicle anyway) had a hard time getting up the driveway. In fact, I had to use 4WD LOW to get out of the driveway.

My s10 wouldnt make it out of my driveway LOL.. I have a 98 Sonoma sittin here too that I really should drive more, but since I drive a company car, theres no need. It is my Home Depot truck. Other people drive it more than I do!

Yeah, we got about 10-11" here in Waterford/Pontiac.

It sucked driving to work in it yesterday.

The back roads are still pretty much untouched and we're suppose to get 1-2 more tonight.

 
Up here in Traverse City, we get lake effect like every other day. Easily 2ft. chillen on the ground right now and more keeps coming. Plus its all drifted up and keeps melting and freezing on the roads keeping the city plows in business for sure.
Same with Grand Haven, but nothing comapres to Houghton and the Keweenaw Peninsula, they get more snow than any other part of the state, and its not even close.

 
30 WHOLE minutes!?! Z0MG I was out snow blowing for 2 hours LOL
Snow blowing is for the ladies.

Caro huh? Im up there every month or so servicing the Ethonol Plant.

My snow blower is a royal POS, but it beats shoveling any day!

HOLY $HIT!!! 8-20 inches LOL.. Thats quite the range! We got another inch or so overnight, and still wont be close to that 20". I havent seen 20" of snow in a loooooong time!
