You think it's just a few more weeks, but there's always one more last gasp big snow sometime in March. I can tell you what I'm not looking forward to: with a lack of funding due to decreased fuel tax revenues, we're going to have to live with some serious road damage this year. There will be wheel eaters everywhere, especially because of this crazy fast freeze-thaws we seem to be getting. Won't want to hit any of those at 100 mph.
DBK, you can't be serious? How can it get ANY worse for roads in MI?
As an aside, I've had thousands of geese in my lake and yard for the last two weeks heading North. I think winter is over.
The Windy City roads are bad, but come downstate and they're fine. I-55 is one of the best roads around.

February Convention of Idiots on Lake Erie!
135 hard core ice fishermen went icefishing yesterday, even though they knew that temps would hit the low to mid 50's...this is the result:

Every year, people are warned and then people are rescued, but this year, they were warned about the warm weather and the risky pre levant winds, went out on the ice and unfortunately one person died of a heart attack.
A big thanks to the Coast Guard, which brought in helicopters from as far away as Detroit and Traverse City Michigan, as well as a C-130 from North Carolina...134 were safely returned to shore---now, about their ATV's and snowmobiles, that is a different matter.

Andy ,
I sure am ready for the warm stuff .
No doubt we will be KICKED at least one more time.
For sure Ron, at least I was outside washing wheels yesterday......
It will definitely be worse this year. Instead of poorly patched holes, they will just be straight up holes. Nobody will ever be able to convince me that there is anything besides planned obsolescence going on here. Do the roads crappy constantly so you'll have to redo them every year.
Your roads aren't exactly worthy of crowing there either Mr. Pikul. :lol
