Mornin' folks!

It must be nice to be able to wait until light to shovel! All my daylight hours are spend at work (at least on weekdays). Its just breaking light when I get there about 7:30 and dark by 6:00 when I leave. Which means the shoveling, done before or after work, is still done in the freezing damn dark. It seems even colder in the dark, even if it isn't

 

Good morning MCF! Cold here too, 17deg. I am sure thats nothing for you guys up north. I saw where Matt said it was -21? Thats freaking cold.

Dave that was bad about the pile up, I hope the injuries were minimal.

Good luck on the job search Keane.

We are headed out to the doughnut shop and then to spend some gift cards. I do not enjoy shopping but at least there will be DONUTS!

Enjoy your weekend everybody!

 

Good morning guys. Someone turn up the heat! This entire past week has not reached 20 F and it's still cold; currently -17 F.

Like Dave mentioned, heavy isolated lake effect snow sparked two huge pileups in Michigan yesterday; one involving roughly 50 vehicles on US-23 right here near Ann Arbor and another involving 193 vehicles on I-94 between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek (pictured below). There was a semi-truck involved in the I-94 incident carrying fireworks that caught fire and went off.

I-94 pileup raw video as it was happening and a few pictures:

Hi 'Matt,
That is very Sad & looks like a War Zone. I'm thankful that I do not have to drive on ice/snow You would think with all the technology in todays world that there would be a warning to close the highways/Interstate roads (?)

Wish everyone clear/safe roads to travel 4>Sure * I was surprised to see in your posted video how fast the
vehicles were traveling (WoW)

p.s. Thanks 4 sharing & hopefully make members think or just stay home & post on the MCF

pss. Hi 'Tommy, Donuts do sound great with a Hot Cup of Coffee

 

Station early Saturday (Jan. 10) — and then returned to Earth, apparently impacting its target ocean platform during a dramatic and highly anticipated landing test in the Atlantic.

The Falcon 9 rocket launched into space at 4:47 a.m. EST (0947 GMT) Saturday from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, kicking off SpaceX's fifth unmanned cargo mission to the orbiting for NASA after a four-day delay. The liftoff was originally scheduled for Tuesday (Jan. 6), but was pushed back because of an issue with an actuator on the rocket's second stage.

 

Come guys move on down here you would never have to put you vehicle away. our lowest temp this year 24 and that is very rare. Well have a great day today everyone still looking at ideas for vanity plate on the Monte please put your ideas on my post.

 

SpaceRider, this was lake effect snow which can be extremely heavy and blinding in isolated areas. You can be driving in perfectly clear, sunny conditions one minute, and the next you enter complete blizzard where you cannot see ten feet in front of you - I've encountered conditions like this a number of times and it can catch you off guard if you aren't careful. Same thing that caused the US-23 pileup yesterday. Most likely, even at reduced speeds, by the time these people saw the pileup in front of them they had no time to react and/or slow down. I drove through several lake effect bands just on the commute home last night, and a section of 696 was bone dry moving at posted speeds. It's crazy how conditions can fluctuate even in a short distance.

Crazy but even with this winter weather I still love my Michigan.

 

Good morning everyone. Another day of work for me. Hope it goes fast. School will be coming soon. It starts Monday. Not really looking forward to that since being off has been so nice. Haha. Oh well once I get back in the swing of things it will be all good.

 

Good Morning EV1!
Its exactly 0 degrees out this Morning!

Matt:
Thanks for sharing the video and pics of the horrific wrecks on I-94..
I think.. That's the biggest one ever on I-94.
Its a shame that those who lost there lives....But it is good that no one else did!
Mel:

I will start working on some more Vanity plate ideas..

Mike: (SpaceRider)
Hows Space?

Peace/Out!

Hope EV1 has a Great Day!
