a good laugh for all the folks out there stuck across the country. thank you so much angie. let s go to shaq brewster, he in michigan, track, tell u what you re seeing we re still seeing that snow that lake effect snow. something that folks here tell me they re used to getting they know how to deal with the snow they know how to drive in th snow but we continue to see the winds in the benton harbor area that s what officials have bee pointing to over the pas couple of days as the most dangerous part of this people have been telling m that is what they are most unfamiliar with. having this low visibility for such a long period of time earlier in the day, we were on the road we went through a majo interstate, that you can get t detroit, also to get t chicago. as you re driving, we notice that most cars were taking i slow they were taking it easy but we saw very quickly how it went from smooth traffic to
full standstill. that s how we saw, to get of the, next to go about half mullah took us 20 minutes at a certain point. officials are saying if yo haven t done your holida travel yet, if you haven t started it, now is not yet the time to begin. that if you do, be ver careful. this is a back end of th storm. folks are dealing with i buffalo right now is much wors than this. their iodice shuns where emergency crews are saying the can t get out in some of thi weather. tony executive saying tw thirds of their emergenc vehicles were actually stuck themselves trying to clear out the roads. travel bans in multipl jurisdictions. a much different situation they re experiencing than what we are going through here in michigan bottom line is, listen to your local officials. if they re advising you don go on the road, stay off the road if you go on the, roads take i slow and keep it easy. things get checked in a moment when you re talking about wind and snow
