I-94 is currently closed in SW Michigan (Berrien County)
All westbound lanes shut down at Red Arrow Hwy.

Expect delays, find a new route, it's icy.

I'll update the MLive post when it opens:

Will be really interesting to see how this changes coverage in Detroit when these two players have been around for so long. I wonder how separate or combined they might be. There are some initial statements but it’s hard to say what it will look like. πŸ‘ Thanks

Leaf pickup happening after heavy rain overnight in #Kalamazoo.

People were complaining to the city about missed leaf pickups in recent weeks. The cleanup was expected earlier but there seems to be a warm weather window now.

Oh don’t worry I wasn’t going anywhere…

Train: Starts going back and forth, blocking traffic

Two people were late to my meeting yesterday for the same reason.

Cars doing U-turns to try to find a way through.

I wrote and article about this ongoing problem in 2017 🀦

If you come across something like this, call the person who might not want the info printed and ask them about it.

Sometimes their answers will surprise you.
