Author Topic: Are you freezing your ass off? Dino Panagiotopoulos Expert Film Handler Posts: 139 From: Windor, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-14-2004 05:19 PM                     Today were experiencing the biggest snowfall of the year here. Its up to about 9" outside. We've had more other years but this is the biggest so far. Article here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snow Piles Up Across Metro Detroit National Weather Service Expects More Snow Wednesday Night UPDATED: 5:38 PM EST January 14, 2004 The National Weather Service reports that up to 7 inches of snow has fallen in some metro Detroit neighborhoods, with more expected for Wednesday night. Snow totals as of 3 p.m. included Livonia at 5 inches, White Lake at 6.7 inches and Macomb Township at 7 inches, according to the National Weather Service. To find more totals across Michigan, click here. The NWS expected additional accumulations of 1 to 3 inches for Wednesday night. A winter storm warning was issued until 8 p.m. Wednesday for Oakland, Macomb, Genesee, Lapeer, Livingston, Midland, Saginaw, St. Clair and Shiawassee counties, according to the National Weather Service. A winter storm warning means severe weather conditions are likely and significant amounts of snow are forecast. This will make travel very hazardous, according to the NWS. The snow started falling during the morning commute, according to Local 4 meteorologist Andrew Humphrey. About 24 accidents were reported on the roads during the morning commute, including two jackknifed tractor-trailers, according to Local 4 Traffic. "It's a mess out there," traffic reporter Tracy Gary said. A winter-weather advisory is in effect for the rest of southeastern Michigan through early Wednesday evening, in which snow is expected to affect the afternoon commute. Road crews said they were prepared and would be aggressive with the snowfall. Copyright 2004 by ClickOnDetroit.com. All rights reserved.

Theres been tons of accidents so far today around here but I guess thats what happens when people drive like morons when we get this kind of weather. Whenever it snows or rains, its human instinct to drive faster and more aggressive during dangerous weather, endangering the lives of others who are taking the extra few minutes and are being cautious. This might sound harsh but if your car ends up in a ditch because you dont have any patience and dont take your time then its your problem. Just dont take innocent people with you.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-14-2004 05:27 PM                  Daryl, you're just jealous cuz I have a telescope with a digital "magnifying" camera....

In all honesty though, I enjoy this town more than most others and so what if its a tourist haven for alcholic underage kids and gamblers from Michigan.......just give some of these girls a couple beers and youre guaranteed one hell of a night and wish you all lived here!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

I just ran across an article that indicates extremely dangerous wind chills of -45 degrees below zero. CNN has hinted at power shortages due to some power plants running out of natural gas. I hope all you you eastcoasters weather this crisis without too much problem.  |  IP: Logged Gracia L.

Also has me piling layers on when I take my little bro outside in the mornings to catch the schoolbus! Current windchill is around -35°F.

Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-15-2004 11:19 PM                     Last I checked, Alaska was west of Canada. Detroit is the only place in the US where Canada is due south.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-16-2004 12:28 AM                     It's snowing here and it won't stop.

As some of Canada is as far north as Alaska, but a big slice of Cananda is more southerly than Alaska.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-16-2004 02:52 PM                  So Adam, WTF are you smokin' up there? quote: Detroit is the only place in the US where Canada is due south. Look at your map, there seems to be a ton of places other than Detroit. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-16-2004 02:59 PM                        Canada is also due East and Due North as well as due South.
