Snowbound in Michigan as counties endure second day of extreme cold
On the coldest day since 1994 Ottawa and Allegan residents hunkered down while police, fire, EMS, and road crews braved subzero frost and whiteout conditions for a second straight day. I-196, I-96, and M-40 closures forced crews to respond to a high volume of crashes and 911 calls, with 369 traffic-related replies in Ottawa County alone. County sheriffs boosted patrols as plow fleets, 20 in North Holland and 66 countywide, fought to clear roads amid continuing snowfall.
