High winds and currently wet snow piling up pretty fast. The power has flickered a couple of times already, and it would really suck if we lost power. We had an ice storm a week ago where lots of people lost power for several days (luckily, we avoided that), but now barely even a week later, it's happening again.

Yeah, we got some shit in Chicagoland too, though I'm sure it's worse with lake effect for you guys.

What area? I love coastal Michigan from about Holland and up.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Yeah. I hope we don't lose power. I think every year "I need to get a generator", but I never actually do it.

Just wind and rain here, but I've already had the power go out twice.

And now my cable and internet are down, even with power...

Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now!

Yup. North East here.

We've had some kind of weather event almost every week for the last year.

We had about 14-18 inches dropped on us over in Fargo so I imagine it's the same system we had. Shit was ridiculous.

i'm a bit south of detroit. was just out in it like 2 hours ago driving home and it's not THAT bad. slushy mess but expected it to be way worse than it has been. have a few friends that lost power. then know a few people that just got their power back a couple days ago after being out for like 6 days after the ice storm.

last week i just had my internet/cable go out but luckily power stayed on. over the summer i legit lost power like a dozen times. lost it like 5 times in a 3 day span when it was 90+ out. definitely gonna invest in a generator after i buy a house.

No estimate on when power will be restored. Around 300,000 customers are without power, according to DTE.

The Detroit subreddit is pissed, because it doesn't seem like DTE has actually been making any infrastructure improvements especially considering last week's ice storm, despite the price hike and record profits for themselves.

And our power is back now.

I guess that's an advantage to living closer to the downtown area; after last week's ice storm, some people went days without power.

We only caught the edge of it but the mixture we got was that nasty icey snow that weighs like 10x as much as regular snow and a lot of people are stuck in their driveways today just hoping it melts.

Yeah, it's like mid-40's today so a lot of that should be melting.

I love when it snows. I snow blow the entire block to cuck those fuckers that try to scare old people into paying them 50 bucks to shovel their driveway. They always say shit like "you need it done or you will get a fine!".

I'm in central Ohio and this winter has been so weak. It has snowed like twice and we got maybe a total of 4 inches. It's bullshit. I want snow days!!!
