In just 4 more days we will flip the calendar over to February. In doing my research on February I came across the coldest of cold waves. February 1875 must have been the coldest month on record here in Michigan. There were only two locations that have records that go back to 1875 Lansing and […]
We had a nice band of lake effect set up across southern Allegan County yesterday evening which dropped two or three more inches of snow. I will get out the snowfall measurements later today. With a southwest wind today most of the lake effect will fall from Ottawa and Kent Counties to the north. Grand […]

A few leftover flurries or freezing drizzle will end this morning, so watch out for some slick bridges and overpasses early on. Otherwise, dry conditions are expected today with […]
Light snow is forecast across parts of Lower Michigan from Sunday morning into the afternoon. Minor accumulation is expected (especially for January standards), and any travel-related impacts are likely to be limited. Most areas will see less than an inch of the white stuff. A more significant system may move in for Wednesday. A transition […]
