Michigan Tacomas

Almost got killed/hurt bumper shaggin back then, damn fun though.

 

I love Michigan, 60 days of great skiing. Thirty in the summer, thirty in the winter. I’m a lifer.

 

Do they still use the garbage trucks to plow in Detroit or have they stepped up yet?

 

Temps warming up and rain/snow through the week.. I was hoping to play in the snow and have some fun, not white knuckle through the ice

 

Well we're supposed to get hit tonight ! Maybe we'll have some fun for our morning drive tomorrow . I'm not getting my hopes up though

 

It depends on how much snow falls in the city. After a few fiasco's of heavy snow and city services not able to get to some houses, Detroit contracted out snow removal. I think it's six inches or more the relief crews are called in. The contracted crews have 24 hours to get the work done.

 

Well…at least over in mid Michigan we didn’t get much snow last night we’ll see how the rest of the week goes

 

Last couple of days 4”-6” of mashed potatoes, Friday is going to be interesting
Paw Paw-Kalamazoo

 

I had fun driving home in it. The multiple cars and one semi in the ditch did not though

 

It’s going to get sporty Friday and Saturday, there will be skating rinks at the bottom of the ski slopes

 

Getting sporty is a good description. Up here in Midland the snow forecast is 10-15" Friday and Saturday.

 

And cold, I live about 25 miles from Lake Michigan, lake effect snow can be interesting, depending on wind direction

 

I hope so...well not so much the ski slope part, but the rest of it. Went to our cabin to check on things and the lake is still not frozen. We're heading to the UP next week to take advantage of winter activities (and actual cold weather) so this timing is perfect.

 

Don’t ski anymore, but used to work at them. This kind of weather puts a lake at the bottom, they’ll churn it up with the groomer.

 

Rust Never Sleeps, especially in Michigan

 

So I was expecting more of a dumping but honestly glad it didn’t. The initial heavy snow was very difficult to move for my little kubota (traction/not heavy enough unit).

 

It was a perfect day to drive to the UP

 

Nice! I drove all over the place too but not that far. Spent a good portion in the wife’s rav4 hybrid which also does very well in snowy conditions.

 

I’m going snowblower shopping today, mine bought the farm yesterday
Happy MLK Day
