I had a paper route too. Had to ride my bike several miles to get papers, then to route, then home again, in all weather, everyday for many years.

Lie.

Lie.

The Detroit News, started when I was eleven, until eighteen. Mr Galaney was the manager. I helped my brother before that, wasn't old enough to officially have my own route.

My township uses pickup trucks with plow blades for a lot of residential streets. The county plows the main roads with regular plows.

I only had a paper route in 4th and 5th grade. Then I worked on a mink ranch. (When I was 18 I had a car and the only thing I was delivering was my love to the sweet young things).

They noted that the forecast calls for a high of around 20 degrees on Monday while water temperature likely will be in the mid-40s.


City officials agreed the event should be postponed, saying they would rather "err on the side of safety."


Hardly cold at all.

Surfs up?

Surfs up?

I bet things were a little nipply out there

Yeah I mean it miserable but they had to break up 4 plus inches of ice so we could jump in.

We don't have those here either; however, what they will do is stagger snow plows to cover each lane of the interstates, with the plow in the passing lane the furthest ahead while the plow in the travel lane is the furthest behind, allowing the snow to be funneled to the breakdown lane.
