January 16 2024 Story of the Winter SW Michigan
So an unexpected thing today. I didn't think I would encounter a car stuck at the Saint Joseph North Pier today. when I was getting ready to go into the parking lot I saw a car head lights than I realized "oh that car is stuck" then I speeded up and turned immediately left to not get stuck in the snow drift they were stuck in.
Before I did anything at the North Pier I made sure the car was ok. They asked me how I did that I said "I have done that before" didn't bring up weathermanpaul.com or Beyond Chasing at all. They asked me if I had a shovel so I looked in my car couldn't find one (trying to not get accidently locked out of the car from the wind). They said they called someone and someone was coming. So I thought they are good, <5 Minutes later Saint Joseph PD was there. They might of needed a tow from the heavy snow
All this happening in 6°F with a -15°F Wind Chill with it being windy
