The National Weather Service is urging residents to plan for hazardous and slow travel.
A winter storm warning is in effect until noon Tuesday for Genesee, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Sanilac, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties.
The snow arrived right on schedule Monday late afternoon and evening, and came down heavily at times through the night.
As of 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, between 4 and 5 inches of snow had already accumulated, so many of us are waking up to around a half-foot of new snow on top of the 1-to-2 inches that fell Sunday night/Monday morning.
As the snow winds down, we’ll start to see some lake effect bands setting up over the Thumb today -- some of those could extend southward as far south as between M-59 and I-69, so those who get under those bands have another inch or so of snow to deal with today.
