Weekend winter storms drop a lot of white stuff

Mary Swainston of Hopkins posted this photo while traveling on 28th Street in Grand Rapids Sunday. “From the house to GR airport and back home we counted 12 slide-offs, spin-outs, accidents, roll-over, and one van which did a U-turn and headed into oncoming traffic on M-6!” she commented. Virtually all area schools were called off Sunday night, but Wayland Supt. Norm Taylor took a more cautious approach. There was a lot of unpleasant chatter on Facebook as a result. There was even a report of an elementary student calling the other phone in the home and trying imitate Taylor’s voice. The superintendent announced Wayland schools would be closed at about 10 p.m. Sunday.
