The city of Warren was hit pretty hard by Wednesday’s (Feb 2.) winter storm. Though multiple inches fell, everyone has dealt with the weather in their own way.

With all of the snow and ice that has been seen Wednesday (Feb. 2) also come often trips to the emergency room for preventable injuries.

Several communities across Southeast Michigan have issued snow emergencies as a major winter storm approaches.

If you've come this far, then you get it.

It’s going to be rough on the roads later this week as forecasters expect a massive two day snow event.

Clearing the roads of all the snow is a big job, and it’s becoming an even more challenging task with the ongoing worker shortages. Some Road Commissions have to look outside the department to get things done.

The snow has been constant, and the roads have been slick as slush builds up along the highways, making for some real problems near Oakman Boulevard and Jefferies Freeway.

After some morning sunshine and subzero conditions, temperatures rise and clouds gather this afternoon. Temperatures continue to rise and snow starts to fall tonight and tomorrow morning. We have not seen temperatures rise above freezing since Feb. 5, but there’s a good chance of that happening, Sunday afternoon. Monday morning, rain will mix with snow at times, and this will cut down on snow totals. Afternoon temperatures return to the 30s.

It is easy to understand why many people would want to postpone any plans including COVID-19 vaccination appointments. Still, many people made sure they attended the vaccination appointments they had Tuesday in Macomb County. Clinton Township resident, Kelly Moore, had to work on clearing the snow to make his Tuesday vaccination appointment.

Practice makes perfect. If you live somewhere where it snows a lotor at all, reallyit's not a bad idea to find a vacant parking lot in which to practice driving in the white stuff. Hit the gas, slam on the brakes, jerk the steering wheel. Slide the car and spin it around to see what those things feel like and how best to straighten out. This will help you learn your car's limits.

And from the looks of our forecast, January 13th may hold onto that honor for quite some time. Low 40s will still be an improvement over much of this month and 10 degrees above normal. Late Week SystemThursday evening, rain will roll in and be with us overnight. Don’t be surprised to see a few snow showers during Friday morning’s commute. Around sunset, we’ll see a transition back to snow showers, again with very little moisture.

Snowfall totals expectedAs far as total snowfall is concerned, there will be a steady gradient of diminishing snow totals from east to west. Here’s how I see those totals breaking down:The far east side should receive 2 to 4 inches of total snow. Remember that the Local4Casters weather app has everything you need to prepare you for the two days ahead -- including live radar and a road conditions product. If you’re one of the few who doesn’t have the nation’s best weather app, what are you waiting for? Highs will generally be near 40 degrees (4 to 5 degrees Celsius), with lows generally in the mid to upper 20s (-4 to -2 degrees Celsius).

Snow in October is not entirely surprising in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula -- but this much snow is record breaking. The National Weather Service reported two broken snowfall records at their Marquette office on Sunday. “We recorded 8.3 inches yesterday, which breaks the old record of 3.1 inches set in 1976! This recent snowfall also established a new monthly snowfall record for the month of October at our office. Weather records for the National Weather Service office located in Negaunee Township date back to 1961.”We haven’t seen any snow in the Metro Detroit region yet.
