For the sake of fairness, I should report here that on my way home last night on 59, the roads were snowcovered but the traffic was moving steadily at between 30 and 40 mph.

The conditions did not change significantly when I reached the Macomb line.

However, I should add that the traffic on 53 going north from 59 was slower -- in the 20 to 30 range. I cannot offer any explanation for this difference other than that snowfall seemed to increase further north.

I say all that because I recently stated in this blog that the roads in Macomb are often clearer than the roads in Oakland. Last night, I could see no difference.
