A late-season snow system may make its way into the area Monday night into Tuesday when temperatures drop and frost moves in, forecasters warned.

We definitely have a weather change coming to the Grand Rapids area and southwest Lower Michigan. We’ve been enjoying spring-like weather, but now it’s going back to a winter feel. For us in southwest Michigan it will take until overnight tonight to really feel the chill, and see winter in the air. Here’s the expected snow accumulation across Michigan by the time this spurt of snow is over Thursday afternoon. For southwest Lower it would be just a trace to half inch of snow.

We definitely have a weather change coming to southeast Michigan. We’ve been enjoying spring-like weather, but now it’s going back to a winter feel. For us in southeast Michigan it will take until near Thursday morning to really feel the chill, and see winter in the air. Here’s the expected snow accumulation across Michigan by the time this spurt of snow is over Thursday afternoon. Even though it’s going to be cold Thursday, with temperatures only in the 40s, the snow will melt by noon.

And this year in Michigan, that meant being tricked into believing spring had arrived because several cities in southeast Michigan saw a decent amount of snow overnight. According to the National Weather Service, some communities saw snowfall including in Lapeer where 2.5 inches of snow accumulated. Other notable snowfall totals include Troy (1.5 inches), Utica (1.4 inches), Cass City (1 inch) and Grosse Pointe Farms (1 inch). West Michigan should expect isolated snow flurries throughout the day. “These brief bursts of snow will end by this afternoon, and most areas will not see any accumulation on ground.”

“Whether we like it or not, it (snow) is going to come back at some point, so ... you still want to have those boots handy and the brush for your car handy, just in case we do see some accumulation,” Borchardt said.

But if the snow flies again and starts to pile up, there’s a chance he’ll be back in his Ada yard creating intricate figures and shapes.

Before the pandemic cancelled many events, he made sand sculptures in a big sandbox for the annual Cottage & Lakefront Living show at DeVos Place. He uses masonry tools, a horse brush and even sandpaper to get the desired shape and effect for his sculptures. Obermeyer’s small yard became a neighborhood attraction earlier this month with the ideal snow sculpting conditions that came with the cold weather.

FLINT, MI – Crews are continuing their work to clear streets after more than one-half foot of snow blanketed Flint. Those crews have been working around the clock to clear roadways, focusing on keeping major roads passable. Flint crews are following its Snow and Ice Control Plan to ensure major roads are serviced first, according to a Tuesday, Feb. 16 city news release. With a total accumulation of more nine inches overnight Monday into Tuesday morning at Bishop Airport reported by the National Weather Service, snow removal operations can take longer. However, Daly said a shift to service local roads and neighborhood streets is likely Tuesday afternoon and hopes crews will finish service to local roads by Wednesday.

"The market can digest rising yields, especially when they are going up for the right reason, but not when they go up in a linear fashion." The Dow has gained 5.1% in February, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have rallied 5.9% and 7.5%, respectively. The S&P 500 has raked in ten record closes in 2021.
