I saw a post on FB where Monroe County said they were not sharing salt with other communities due to shortages... I wonder if they were giving it to Wasthtenaw?

Why is this a surprise? I've worked at UM for 20 years, and Washtenaw Co has always been the worst part of my winter commute.

A complaint I often hear is from people who clear their sidewalks and/or driveways, only to have the snowplow come by and block them with dirty, heavy snow later.

I often thought there was a conspiracy. I'd finish the driveway and 10 minutes later the county would come by and block the entrance.

There are reports that we may get a lot of snow here this weekend. Something akin to some of the snowfalls in the mid to late 70s. Thankfully I have a small driveway, but for the first time in over 5 years I'm missing my snowblower

Forecast for the Toledo area is 2-11 inches, so that's super helpful.

Our biggest question mark is whether we are getting ice or snow. As of yesterday the various models are still all over the place. I would prefer snow. Either way I don't think I'm going anywhere this weekend.

EAR UPDATE: Noticed sensation (sound like a muffled or broken speaker) yesterday coming from the left headphone for the first time since my ear shut off. Did a hearing test today and while the results would not be called "good" as a whole, they is significant improvement in noticing "sensation" even if it isn't definable sound, and that is a major step forward. Been taking the steroid drops once a day for 7 days now, so it appears that this IS a virus of some kind and that either the drops or working or the virus is running it's course. No guarantee I get the hearing in that ear back 100%, but I'm certainly feeling better about it today than a week ago.

I have to go all the way out to Macomb from Dearborn for these visits. The reason is that because this happened during the holiday break it was very hard to get an appointment anywhere close to home. I go to a Corewell Health center 48 miles from home, while I have one 4 blocks from where I live, but I need to stick with the team I started with. But, holy ****, M-59 is the worst ****ing road to drive on. There is ZERO traffic flow. It's a bunch of cars just doing whatever. There is no fast lane/slow lane, it's just pure chaos and half of these people aren't even looking at the road and cutting across several lanes of traffic to make the turn - and I'm not sure 20% of our drivers understand what the Green Light means. You don't need to hit your breaks when coasting through a green light. I hate that ****ing road.

Glad to hear things are looking better, MCS! 

Did a bunch of people move there from metro Boston? Sounds like about half of the drivers around here.

Love those Boston Rotaries,  they've got one between Logan Airport and Lynn and it's freaking nuts.  There are no rules.  Whomever leaves with the least damage, wins
