Some cars, nearby, were almost completely snow covered. Mass seemed to get the brunt of Michigan's snow Jan. 6.. [Image of the front of the store with snow almost covering the windows.

Other signs of the crisis recently have been the voluntary closing of many gas stations on Sundays and the rising cost of gas. Holiday travelling may be kept to a minimum due to fear by motorists that they might become stranded along the way.
