Students can take a break from their screens and enjoy some fresh powder -- there will be lots of it.
Snow totals from the overnight storm are expected to exceed half a foot across Southeast Michigan, with some areas getting up to 10 inches. Add that to existing snow from previous disturbances and that’s a whole lot of snow.
Live weather radar: Winter storm warning in effect for Metro Detroit until noon Tuesday
Expect to see another 2-4 inches Thursday afternoon through Friday when another storm rolls in.
Until then, enjoy the snow and remember to wear a mask and practice social distancing in crowded areas. Those sledding hills might get busy.
