It was HORRIBLE. I went to go warm up my Jeep around 7am and felt a few drops and though nothing of it. Meet up with the team at school, and left at 7:30. We were gonna take 23, but the radio said there was a bad accident, so we took 75. Go past Monroe on 75 and it started to get worse...so everyone slowed down. Once we got on 275, we saw accidents every half mile. Traffic was between 5 mph and a stand still. I saw 2 semis go from the on ramp, and cross 3 lanes of traffic into the ditch. I exited at one exit to take Haggerty to miss some of the accidents and got back on...but it was till horrible. On Haggerty, people were getting stuck in intersections becuase it was so icey. One of my team members did a 720 across 3 lanes to the shoulder...luckily it was like 8am and she didnt hit anyone, but she was so starttled she drove home and didnt even go to kick-off. I slid a bit, at one point, I went off the highway to drive in the rumble strip/gravel to keep traction. I slid sideways a bit and forward about 20ft one time, but nothing major. Half the people on the road, including myself, had their 4-ways on so the morons still doing 45mph would see them slowing down/stopping and not run into the back off them. Some guy was actually tailgating me in this weather.

This weather turned a 1 hour trip into an over 3 hour ordeal. All in all, everyone who went, made it there and back safely.
