2. What was that yesterday about

Northerners coping better in the snow? :P

It wasn't you Mari, but it was a Michigander.

What a nasty mess, hope everybody gets care and attention.

5. Naw it wasnt me...wanna know why all these

people end up in these ditches and pile ups? They go fast, they have 4 wheel drive SUVs and Hummers etc and THINK they are invincible..IMO thats why...Ive seen them flyyyyyyyy past me on the sideroads and end up WHAM in a ditch...

3. Was that one of those MI snowmobile trailer parades?

Thousands of cars towing snowmobiles + snow + fog +/- ice equals disaster
