Snow Day Quiet in Farmington and Farmington Hills

It has been a quiet day at and .

"Looks like everybody stayed home," Farmington Public Safety Director Bob Schultz said late Monday morning. "We had a couple of cars off into the ditch on M-5, but I don't think we've had any vehicle crashes."

Schultz said a snow emergency will remain in effect in Farmington until all of the subdivisions have been cleared, but once a residential street has been plowed from "curb to curb", then residents can park their vehicles on the street.

In Farmington Hills, Police Chief Chuck Nebus said he checked with the dispatch center this morning and found only a few accidents, none major, and no power outages. He said the department put a couple of SUVs on the road, because of their four-wheel drive capabilities.

"The bigger the snow, the less problems we have," Nebus said, adding the school closings and the Presidents Day federal holiday helped out as well.
