cautiouslyhopeful Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Hey, I grew up in MI. It's all true!!! I have driven 65 mph in a raging snow storm at night... wondering if i was still on the road! Jeff Foxworthy has been making these observations about Michigan for years. I remember many a' halloweens that were impeded by snow/sleat. My Dad sent me back to college with beer in the trunk of my car with these words of advise, "don't drink it all at once". Thanks for bringing back the memories!! Go Blue!! C.H. every Michigander in this post gets a +1 from me!!
