Snow quickly started adding up in neighborhoods in Livonia. Conner Hickson, 12, got the snowblower out but it wouldn’t start. So he began shoveling the snow himself, including taking care of his neighbors street.

At 2:28 p.m. the snow really started hammering down. Wayne County salt trucks made a massive difference on the roads. Many people worked to stay ahead of the snow by shoveling early.

Some people even ventured out of their homes to head to area stores, the Aldi in Livonia was well stocked and quiet.
