SNOW SUCKS!

I was telling my daughter about that winter last night. We were way past the "tall Indian" deep and the county took a D8 dozer and cut a ditch parallel to the road to serve as a trap because they couldn't plow anymore. Once it melted we had a lake in the field. We had the boat in there rowing around. Even with a culvert big enough to walk through all crouched down, it took most of the spring to drain away.

We were a tougher people then.

Last monday my kids were having a water gun fight when I got home. Fast forward 7 days to a blizzard.

I was cruising on the Harley and smoking ribs.

Guess we got around 4 inches but it's probably in Ohio by now. I can see a layer of ice letting things keep moving. Some pretty bare patches and then some drifts but nothing bad. The wind is still howling and snow is still moving around. I'm staying in the house.

The blizzard of '78 was awesome! By 10 am every beer keg in East Lansing was sold, and we were dragging them down the streets with ropes.

I was 9…..drink PBR by then, but not by the keg.

Mother Nature apparently thought yesterday wasn’t enough. She’s piss pounding us even worse today.
30+ inches so far with high winds.
We had a fire page out earlier today and most of us couldn’t even get down our roads..,thankfully it was just a power line down with no structures involved.
I have our Dept . Of Public Works readily accessible to a plow for emergency calls, otherwise roads are impassable and even normal snow plowing has been halted for now.
My wife’s car is now hiding behind the snow bank in pic 1

Somehow I made it to work at 6 am , Chevrolet in the Hole Flint , and they sent us home because of not enough people to run the line .
It took me four hours to get back across Flint and home . We were snowed in for days .
