SNOW

3:30am - Went out to I-75 south from Crooks and it was totally slick and icy, so I turned around and came back home. WWJ said 696 was also icy....

Didn’t you take your computer home yesterday ?


Mound rd from M59 to 696 was fine around 8:15. With the school closures traffic was light.

I did bring it home, but I also tried to go in this morning. I like to at least make an attempt to go in - BUT, I also don't wanna get killed trying either. There are too many other factors trying to do that to me and age is one of them!
 
I'm just counting down the days until I can bring my fun daily drivers out again. I'm on 'winter auto pilot' by this time every winter season. Don't care, I just go to work, shovel the snow, and do what I gotta do. I could wake up to a foot of snow tomorrow and it really wouldn't phase me too much.

Ditto. So ready to get fun car back out on the road. We still got another solid 8 weeks before we’re in the clear. I don’t care what Phil saw last week.
 
It's piling up down in the Pointes. Got two or three inches already. From the looks of the radar, no sign of stopping anytime soon. Weather forecast says up to an inch today. So much for that!

Good lake effect banding today.

The Z71 has been so much fun the last few weeks. Just wish stabilitrak would stay off over 25mph.
 
Someone decided to drive on the ice to go ice fishing in Sanilac County, here is the police report. This must have been a difficult recovery!


On February 16, 2019 at approximately 12:00 P.M., people ice fishing in the Lexington Harbor called 9-1-1 to report a truck had broken through the ice and there was a person in the truck. Citizens helped convince the male occupant to exit the truck and jump to safety on the solid ice.
Lexington Police, Lexington Fire, Sanilac County Sheriff’s Deputies, and Croswell EMS were dispatched to the scene. The male, a 62-year-old from Kimball, was treated and released by EMS on scene. The male was arrested by the Lexington Police.
On Sunday, February 17, 2019 a joint recovery effort was undertaken to remove the vehicle from the lake. The 2016 Dodge Ram was entirely submerged under the ice in approximately 12 feet of water. The truck was located at the mouth of the harbor, over 850 feet from shore. The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team, Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team, and the Lexington Fire Department organized a complex recovery. The effort, led by the St. Clair County Dive Team, consisted of cutting a series of large triangular holes in ice that was up to 14 inches thick. Divers then swam under the ice and hooked up to the truck. The truck was towed under the ice towards the launch ramp until the water was too shallow to tow under the ice. Personnel then cut a massive hole in the ice and the truck was towed onto the boat launch ramp
 
Did you see the video?

They get the guy out safely, then he gets back in the fucking truck and almost goes down with it. They have to rescue him again and then the truck sinks like a rock. What a moron.
