My street this morning, right before sunrise.

Welcome to Michigan-Winter Weather Causes Road Problems
Kent County - Most people in West Michigan were expecting a few inches of snow. Instead some places saw nearly a foot Wednesday.

The highways were backed up for miles most of the early evening. As nightfall hit, the slick roads and poor visibility forced cars off the road. Tow companies say they had dozens of calls for help all along the highway.

Drivers say the roads were extremely dangerous as the slick roads began to freeze. In other areas, the mounds of snow trapped drivers in the snow. Cars stuck in ditches and accidents on the highways and city roads forced traffic jams around West Michigan.

Damn! There is probably a foot of snow on my car.

Wish I could just hibernate till baseball starts.
