The weather outside is freightful...So they say! OMG, we got hit soooo bad yesterday. First we had freezing rain in the morning than all day it snowed that heavy wet snow. My sisters and myself made such a bad decision...we had planned on getting together to make Christmas cookies. I had heard that we were expecting 3-6 inches throughout the day. My sisters had heard that the warning had been called off in Livingston county where we were going. (not sure WHERE they heard that one) It was not snowing or raining when we left and the roads were just wet. We had an absolute ball together...love getting us all together (I have 7 sisters, not all there though). Well, the storm hit and everything turned bad real fast! As my sister Louise and myself got into the car she had mentioned how beautiful it was...yeah, it was beautiful...but the last time it snowed like that so fast and the driver said it was beautiful out, we got in a bad accident and I went into the windshield (no, stupid at the time and didn't have on my seatbelt...smarter now). Well, we ventured out and the backroads were treachous! My neice was following us and she was pretty nervous. I couldn't believe how much snow we had gotten so fast, and how bad the roads were. We had heard that they closed one of the expressways due to a real bad accident. We did pretty welll driving about 20 miles and hour but making it, when hell dejavu...we noticed a car barrelling down a side street straight at us. We both said she was going to fast to stop in time in those conditions. A car was coming in the oncoming lane also. My sister swerved slightly but the lady still blowed into us on my side. we spun around a few times...not sure how we missed the oncoming car...and landed in a ditch. The lady got a broken headlight but my door was smashed in so bad I couldn't get out. Pissed me off because the lady never once apologized for hitting us. She made it sound like it was just a freak accident due to the weather. She had to be haleing at about 45 and I do not think she even tried to brake...she claimed her brakes locked up...dah, that's why you pump them and slow your butt down! We are all ok, I am a bit sore in the neck and shoulder but my sisters car is pretty damaged. The lady got the ticket so that was good, she wanted us to just exchange insurance info and be on our way....no way, I called the police straight away. Turns out there were 3 accidents (one real bad with ambulance) on that road within a half hour apart. Weather was totally unbelievable! Gosh, I hate winter....is it spring yet!!! DEE

Yeah, you have been real lucky Jan. We had rain on Christmas day and than sonw that night. Our side streets and dirt roads got real bad. Nick ended up sliding into a ditch that night. He didn't call me or his dad...thought we would yell at him...not sure why, cause we all know that s**t happens. He called my brother-n-law who helped him out; I only found out from my sister the next day. Boy, Michigan weather has not been very good to my family already this year!!! IS IT SPRING YET? DEE

Went to bed with rain last night and woke up this morning with about 3/4 inches of snow. Not a whole lot I know but still sucks! Nick came home last night at 2 am and said that the roads were terrrible! I really wouldn't mind the snow...if the roads were heated and the snow didn't stick on them! LOL! I hate driving in it so bad. I guess the two snowy accidents haven' t helped. yep, summer is soooo much better, spring is even nice. DEE
