Snow Daze....
The climate in Michigan is milder than it was when I was your age. This is evident in our growing zone. The growing zone is used by gardeners to determine what plants will grow in a geographic region. We used to be a zone three, now we are a zone four. In other words, it is warmer than it used to be. In my youth, the amount of snow we received over the past few days would have not been enough to cause problems. Traffic would have flowed smoothly. Also, I feel that Michiganders have forgotten how to drive in the snow. I am seeing too many people not taking the necessary precautions in this weather. What do you feel about snowfall in Michigan now? Is a little enough to cripple the area or have Michiganders forgotten what is was like in the "good old" days? Please respond in a good paragraph.

I feel the snowfall this year in Michigan is fine. I personally am not a huge fan of snow, so this is great to me. I agree with Mrs. Atkinson, I do feel that Michigan citizens have forgotten what it was like decades ago. My grandmother always tell me how she remember the snow being so high that many could not walk out of their homes or buses will stop operating. But today, I feel that this is enough for a winter.
If you have lived in Michigan for a good amount of time, then you should know how to drive in snow and the snowfall shouldn't be a huge reason. The snowfall to me is acceptable because it could be much worst then it is now. Outside could be much worst, the snowfall has decreased but so many people seem not to know how to drive in the snow. Well maybe they should learn but not at the expence of others. Overall the snowfall is not bad at all to me and I do agree that alot of Michiganders have forgot how to drive in the snow or just want to drive how they want and put other drivers in alot of danger because of their carelessness.
It absolutely use to be more snow when i was younger but because of global warming it is warmer than it should be. I definitely do not think it is enough to stop traffic we hardly have any snow on the roads. Plus the sun is always out so its melting the snow quick. People have forgot what it was like in the old days because now they do not drive cautious anymore. They think since its warmer there is less ice and they have nothing to worry about.
I think that everything can change over time. For example, many years ago there was no internet, no cell phones and hardly any electronics. Now there are electronics everywhere and it seems as if noone can function without them. People react according to what they are used to. Michiganders are no longer use to such heavy weather. When they were use to it, they knew how to travel without any problems. Now that noone is really use to it, they are having issues with it.
I feel that it does not snow as much as it used to. I remember when I was in middle school it used to snow a lot more. We used to get snow days often. Now it seems it barely snows. When it snows people forget how to drive. I think just the idea of snow makes people worried and make them drive bad.
I feel that the snow is bad but it might not be as bad as it use to be back in the day. But for our genertation it seems bad to us. And since our genertation is not use to alot of snow when we get snow we don't know how to drive in it. I think that before people be able to get their licsense they should have to drive in the snow. If they can't drive that well in the snow then they should not be able to drive. I have realize myself that when it snows just a little people tend to drive snow.I believe that this will probly get worse.
i think that the snow in michigan is a great amount, even though when i was younger it does seem like the we had much more snow and windy colddays. that michigan residents are forgeting how to drive in the snow they drive really slow, they think are goin to crash so they try to slow down so they wont slide on the ice.
I feel that
people have just forgotten how to drive in the snow. I feel the pepole that have lived here for a certain amount of time should know not only how to drive but also how to act. I think that the school closings are unneccessary. The snow had a big impact on Michigan for no reason
In my opinion, the snowfall these past few days have not been like the years before. We are getting leaser snowfalls in Michigan and we are not getting enough snow. When I was younger the snow days was great and the ground was full of snow. We used to have to wear a snow jumpsuit in order to get through the tall snow and it was much colder than before. I agree with the argument of the snow not causing enough problems in traffic. Normally we would all types of accidents on the radio or on the news through the hole winter and there were not many accidents reported. Although few people feel that the snow is great right now but in my opinion I think the snow is no longer fun as it used to be in the childhood years.
I feel that the snowfall isn't enough cripple an area. Michigan snowfall has been lacking over the past years. Even I at the young age that I'm at now, I remember when the snow was piling as if they were mountain tops. I agree that Michigan drivers have forgotten the precautions of driving during the winter time. So then again maybe it could cripple an area of Michigan.
