WINTER SNOWSTORM

We’re almost into February, and we’re looking at the first big snowfall of the year, and of course, there are schoolchildren across Michigan watching closely to see if they’ll get that first snow day of the school year.

The first storm really isn’t a storm -- it’s an upper level disturbance that brought our Sunday night snow. Accordingly, the National Weather Service will end the winter weather advisory -- now upgraded to a winter storm warning -- at noon. AdA winter storm warning is in effect until noon Tuesday for Genesee, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Sanilac, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties. Lows Monday night in the low teens (-11 degrees Celsius), and highs Tuesday near 20 degrees (-7 degrees Celsius). While there are still some details to work out, it appears that several more inches of snow are possible Thursday into Friday.
