Isaac Blackburn was on the highway digging cars out of the snow.

"Even after they are going through and plowing, there is still a fine layer of ice and they are drifting and going right over it, causing it to get even more slippery ." Said Blackburn

Rachel Schmidt was stuck in traffic and says its a big inconvenience for her. She needs to get back to college.

"Well, I have to write a paper today that I procrastinated a little bit. So I do need to get back to Kalamazoo soon." Said Schmidt
