Under MCL 257.677a(2)-(4), it is illegal for snow, ice or slush to fall into either the roadway or the shoulder in such a way that a motorist’s vision is impaired. That law, like it or not, stands for all Michigan drivers.
This is a video of a Cass County snowplow driver doing his job. Long hours and a thankless job. During a blizzard-like situation as we experienced on Wednesday, the job is critical to public safety - the roads have to be plowed and safe for driving. And the snow keeps coming down. This is not a - quick clear the main roads once - and your back in the shop. This is - drive your route, and drive it again, and then drive it again three or four more times.
About this time every year, the topic of "Great Blizzards" comes up. For Michiganders, the two blizzards of the late 1970's get people waxing poetic about how much snow there was, etc.
