Snow rest of Thursday
Snow continues to fall Thursday afternoon, with the accumulation really taking place south of M-59.
Snow should be wrapping up before midnight.
Amounts will range from a trace north to near 2-3 inches down near Toledo.
Bitter cold late this week
Temperatures start to really drop Thursday night, and with a breeze, it’ll feel like it’s near zero Friday morning.
It gets even colder Saturday morning, with lows close to zero, and wind chills near minus-10 degrees.
Snow chances next week
No big snow storms are in our near future, but there are chances to see some flakes fly.
On Sunday, the snow looks to stay just north of us, but we can’t rule out a few of us, mainly in the North Zone, seeing some light snow.
Wednesday into Thursday of next week brings another chance for a light accumulation. This is a ways out, so there’s a lot to shake out between now and then. But as of now, it looks like we could see some light snow.
Anniversary of coldest temperature in Michigan history
The anniversary of the coldest temperature in Michigan’s history is Wednesday (Feb. 9).

Sunset at 6 p.m.
