Didn't hit anything but sure scared the crap out of me.

It's amazing the education that real world experiences gives us that we never forget. There but for the grace of God go I. My wife says this is especially true for me. She says if it wasn't for her prayers that I would be dead long ago.

Two hours later, we had received about 2 inches of snow and the expressway in Oakland County hadn't been salted yet by the county road commission and there were cars and trucks that had spun off the road all along the route.......

As soon as I hit the county line for my county, the Macomb County road commission had already been through and had salted the highway and it was all clear......

I’m lucky, now that I’m retired I don’t have to go out in the winter crap if I don’t want to. We just had a bad ice storm last night and road conditions were awful this morning. Temps are now up to 32 degrees and it’s just raining so the highways should just be wet......
