An investigation continues. The accident happened on South Black River Road near Dixon Highway in Cheboygan County's Waverly Township. While there were few injury accidents, tow truck services throughout the region worked around the clock to pull cars from ditches, untangle minor collisions and jump start cars with dead batteries. It was the same story for Tracy Daugherty's six Ron's Auto and Wrecker trucks, which she estimated had handled 75 to 80 calls as of 6 p.m. Sunday. Hers was one of the companies clearing I-75 of stuck cars.
Snow is usually a good thing for ski resorts but too much in a short time can be a problem.
Ticket and rentals supervisor John Roth at Crystal Mountain near Thompsonville said Saturday started out busy but slowed down considerably as the storm intensified and Sunday was light as guests decided to get an early start for home. The same was true at Shanty Creek but ski program managers took heart in the fact that the new snow will mean great skiing from now on out. The Traverse City Record-Eagle. All rights reserved.
