How people in Metro Detroit are braving extreme temps

The extreme temps didn’t stop people in Metro Detroit from getting outside. Local 4 caught up with people braving the cold.

The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy is hosting its Fire & Ice Festival this weekend as part of its popular Winter at Valade celebration.

Even with the cold, hundreds of people came out to see the ice sculpting competition, listen to the music, and witness the seven-foot ice tower.

“It sounded super cool, like I’ve traveled to a decent amount of places and I haven’t been to many places like Detroit has with the Fire & Ice festival and it sounded cool and I was like, ‘Yeah, if they’re still having it, I’ll come,” Katrina Timbers said.

Timbers came out to revel at the ice sculptures and soak in the sounds and the Westfield ladies spent the night out enjoying their mom’s 63rd birthday.

Weather: Accumulating snow continues on Sunday in Metro Detroit -- more extreme cold temperatures ahead

We are expecting another widespread accumulating snow, with some places seeing significant snowfall totals by the time we get to late Sunday night and early on Monday morning.

This is all thanks to the winter storm that is gripping the eastern 2/3 of the United States.

Expect this snow to increase in intensity Sunday afternoon through late Sunday night, which is where the bulk of the accumulation will be.

Keep in mind, with air temperatures remaining in the low end of the teens, salt is not effective with where our forecast temperatures are.
