Snow,sleet, freezing rain and cold temperatures has happened here in the UP of Michigan. Schools were open, grocery stores open and even banks, pharmacy open. Life goes on in spite of winter storms
I remember one time I was trying to get back to Oregon (lived there at the time) and a huge snow storm was hitting the upper Midwest. Well, they were getting ready to shut down everything there and I knew I had to get out of Wyoming (driving across the Interstate) before they shut down everything, and I would be stuck for days, then.
I could barely see on the Interstate, so I cracked the driver’s door open slightly, and drove right next to the dotted white line, as that was the only way I could see where the road was ... LOL ...
I finally did make it out of Wyoming, and just about am hour after that, the Interstate was shut down for a couple of days. I barely made it out ... :-) ...
