A major winter storm crushed northern Michigan this week. Areas of the Upper Peninsula reported up to 4 feet of snow, 60 mph winds and impassable roadways.
Further south in communities like Cadillac, Alpena and Roscommon, heavy ice brought down thousands of trees and caused widespread power outages in sub-freezing temperatures. At its peak, over 100,000 utility customers were in the dark for days.
Host Tina Sawyer speaks with WCMU's Emma George-Griffin who was on the ground to survey some of the damage in Roscommon County, one of the most impacted parts of the region.
And this week's brain teaser question isn't "watered" down, but it may make your brain go topsy turvy.
