We got 4" of "S***" in Gaylord this morning, out by us, only about 2". I just got an email (mass mailing) from Michigan DNR about the traffic congestion around I-75 and I-675 in the Saginaw/Zilwalkee Bridge construction area. They are saying that I-75 northbound traffic on Thursday (the day before deer season opens) will experience 3 to 5 hour delays. They anticipate the delays could occur through the weekend as more hunters travel north.
There will be increased traffic on 127 and 131 through the central and western part of the state, but no significant delays are expected.
Travel safely and allow some extra time. The weather forcast calls for continuing snow/rain/sleet with highs in the mid 40's and lows in the mid 20's through the next couple of weeks.
Should be great weather for hunting
