A winter storm watch goes into effect for all of Southeast Michigan from 7 a.m. Wednesday through 11 p.m. Thursday.

After an active start to the week, we finally have a couple of relatively quiet days before the weekend storm arrives.

We started the week with two storms in two days, and now the third storm of the week approaches tonight. We need a break, and fortunately, this storm will be the least impactful of the week.

A 43-year-old Michigan woman is happy to be alive after her car got stuck in the snow amid subzero temperatures this week. According to Eaton County Sheriff Tom Reich, the woman was leaving work early Tuesday morning when her Ford Blazer got stuck. Because the snow was so high, police officers had to use the assistance of nearly the entire community to help the woman. Ad“(It was) with the help of Michigan State Police, the deputy sheriff at Eaton County Sheriff’s Office, as well as Grand Ledge Fire and their EMS, the Eaton County Road Commission’s office as well as a landscape business,” Reich said. It’s also recommended that drivers use main roads if no snow has been plowed on your usual daily routes.
