MTSkiBum 1,620 Posted January 28, 2014 I am taking today off work as well, they are expecting snow/sleet around 1pm. The problem is that nobody knows how to drive on snow, the roads shut down. Even though I have driven my whole life in snow it doesnt matter. I cannot control the driver behind me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mungwater 593 Posted January 28, 2014 Same here, the big problem is the city isn't equipped to handle it. Then you have the drivers who don't know what the hell they're doing. Last Friday you'd see folks in a big truck trying to drive 85 then some assh0le going 15, focks everything up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peenie 1,794 Posted January 29, 2014 i'm from new jersey. i am used to snow. however, that is not what is going on here in georgia. anyone can drive in snow, but who can drive on ice? i walk to and from work and watched cars creep along at 3 mph and yet still slide and crash into one another. it's difficult to go uphill or control you car downhill on the road with so much ice. when it snows, the city turns into a great big skating rink. i noticed a reckless driver; he was from new jersey.

kilroy69 1,136 Posted January 29, 2014 I grew up in ga and have lots of friends there. One told me that they had kids stuck in schools and on at least 1 bus was still stuck at 11pm last night....with kids on it. Meanwhile my buddy in Mississippi sent me a pick of what closed down school there. about a quarter of an inch of snow. Just enough so you could see it. Its crazy. I am looking out my window at 3ft of snow in jackson michigan and nobody even gives it a 2nd thought. its just background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peenie 1,794 Posted January 29, 2014 it because the roads are ice covered! we do not have salt and snow plows and people do not own tires with the proper treads. in nj i invested in tires that were good in snow. here, i just get all weather tires. i'm sure many people just buy cheapie tires that will not grip during snow/ice. most of the year it's miserably hot and days like this seem unfathomable.

MDC 6,609 Posted January 29, 2014 Got a pick from my MIL of the "storm" that got her office in NC closed yesterday and cancelled today - maybe an inch blanket of powder. We got that last night in Philly on top of the 3-4 inches of ice and corner snow banks that still haven't melted from last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,890 Posted January 29, 2014 I like to laugh at places that can't deal with snow too, but really it isn't their fault. Those cities never have the resources for snow plowing and removal--why would they when it's only necessary once every few years? Same goes for drivers, they aren't used to driving in those conditions and they don't have AWD or 4 Wheel Drive or snow tires/chains because they'd almost never use them.

I am looking out my window at 3ft of snow in jackson michigan and nobody even gives it a 2nd thought. its just background. It's been a helluva winter in Michigan though. I grew up in Detroit and live in Mount Pleasant now, this is by far the coldest winter I've experienced. This was the first day it's been above 20 in almost 2 weeks. I think since mid November we have had maybe 3 or 4 days get above freezing. We haven't had any big snow storms up here, but there has been at least a foot on the ground since mid December, just because there hasn't been any kind of a thaw. Of course up here we always have cold snaps, but it's usually pre/proceeded by a thaw when we at least get up into the 40s, and we just haven't had this this winter, and the snow just keeps piling up. I went up to around Traverse City a few days ago, there is a legit 40"+ on the ground. I've only seen that much snow once before and it was in the UP.

But really this is just a makeup winter. The last 3 or 4 years what we had could barely be called winter. I have been up here for 14 years now and its by far the worst I have experienced. I drove home from kalkaska a month ago into the heart of winter storm Ion. I can not express how bad of a drive it was. It was so cold my windshield wipers kept sticking to the windshield and you could only see 5 ft ahead of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over in the Flint area we have had a couple storms over 8" with the biggest being 14-18", and a couple stretches with temps around -20 F and wind chills in the negative 30s.

You also got the worst of that really bad ice storm. Up here we have missed the worst of the couple of bigger storms. A few 6-8 inch storms, and we didn't get any ice, we had people coming up here from Lansing and Flint since they had no power for a week around Christmas. I went down to my dad's around New Years in Detroit, and while I was down there they had back to back 10-12 inch storms, and I drove to and from Chicago NYE/NY in a constant snow storm on 94. Then I drove back up right after the second storm when we had the first and worst arctic blast. I left at about 4pm, it was -6 with a 30mph wind blowing in the city, and 96 was just a wind swept tundra from Detroit to Lansing, couldn't see farther than about 50 yards the whole stretch. Needless to say, 4WD has been well worth the extra $$ this winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devin952 1 Posted February 1, 2014 Jan. 2014 brought Grand Rapids 41.9″ of snow, the 7th snowiest January ever in G.R. Snowfall totaled 48.4″ in Muskegon and 55″ in Holland. The average temperature was 6.3° below average in G.R., 7° below average in Kalamazoo and 8.1° below average in Lansing. Grand Rapids warmest was 43 on the 13th and the coldest was -9 on the 3rd and the 28th. We had six morning get to zero or colder, only 4 days without any snow, 13 days with more than an inch of snowfall and 5 days when we had 4″ or more. We had 16 days without a minute of sunshine and another 5 days with 10% or less of sunshine for the day. Only 3 days had more than 60% suunshine. Since Dec. 1 we have had just 17% of possible sunshine. The average wind speed was 12.3 mph. There were 17 days when Grand Rapids had a wind gust of 30 mph or more. The wind caused a lot of drifting snow. I was wrong when i said 70 inches in January, What I ment was total for the winter season. http://blogs.woodtv.com/2014/02/01/january-2014-wrap/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
