Overnight, 3-6 inches of snow blanketed southeast Michigan making morning commutes to work Thursday treacherous and closing hundreds of schools and districts, including the Detroit Public Schools, the largest one in the state.

The snowstorm that swept across the state starting Wednesday dumped 4 to 7 inches of snow in parts of southeast Michigan, according to the National Weather Service. The snowfall and wintry conditions sparked dozens of school closures, prompted road crews to work around the clock, and made for a messy morning commute.

The far southeast corner of Michigan will be the only spot with a mixture of various winter weather types. This means we have to look at snow totals and some freezing rain accumulation.

Southeast Michigan is expected to be walloped with what could be one of the biggest snowfalls of the year so far and you could be a long trip home from work, even if the office isn’t far away. Be sure to pack some patience and a car emergency kit.
