Looks like we may have okay weather on Sunday.  If you plan on coming, why not bring a couple of friends that are interested in OC.  Let's have a decent crowd on hand.

I have yet to drive today, but from my front window, Flint roads seem to be in good condition. They've plowed my road FIVE TIMES since it quit snowing.:?    As to Woodward, my 13 thousand dollar Cherokee whizzed past a countless number of 60 thousand dollar road blockages yesterday! :celebrate

Not to be humorous ,many side roads are blocked by delivery and personal autos. Driver that will remain unnamed stated his last 16 hr shift after snow emergency was declared two days earlier  burred more than one hundred autos in Wayne county on main drags . These are six lane with center left turn that as of two hrs ago are and will remain until Monday pm no overtime the same two trackers .:question::uhoh:

I worked in Birmingham yesterday, and saw the chaos. I don't mean to be fecetious about the stuck people... I helped several people on the way home yesterday. One actually required the use of a tow strap.  Am I to understand that those 6 lane two-tracks will remain unplowed until Monday? That sucks.

I was driving around yesterday in my friend's Focus. The only way I could get around without getting stuck in the side streets was to ignore stop signs and do hand brake turns. But it was FUN!!!

They do have woodward pretty well cleared off today though.

Yes ! Wayne , Oakland Monroe and Washtenaw will not plow ANY overtime other than I75,us23.I275.I94, I696 ,I96 ,I375 ,us24 but then you can not enter or exit due to road blockage from main plowing .

Thx for the spellcheck, Taxwhat. (facetious vs fecetious) I hate bad spelling. Michigander, my e-brake doesn't work well, so I can't have that kind of fun. I envy you!

I just drove from Ann Arbor to Howell on 14, 23, and 96 without issue. Side roads aren't bad at all. Roads are generally clear, aside from a few off-the-beaten-path roads.

No worries. You have no need to catch the next one when you can go ahead and schedule your own. :cool:

What's the plan are we still going to meet?  I will give it a try if others will be there. I plan on leaving earlier than I was going to yesterday.

PLEASE don't anyone go out of your way if you're not real comfortable with the driving conditions.  It isn't worth an accident.

It's not exactly hard to plan future meetings, and I'm sure that they wouldn't mind repeat business if we come back later. ;)

I'm still of course going to be there. I'll try to be there half an hour or so early. I look forward to seeing those of you who can make it. :)

I know how to drive, I'll be there. I like driving in the snow.

I have to run by the shop first and pick up the t-shirts and my laptop then I'll head up southfield fwy.
