WHAT TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT: Heavy amounts of snow (for some) Friday morning and evening rush hours will be a complete mess WHAT NOT TO BE CONCERNED OUT: Wind (won’t be a factor) Bitter cold (doesn’t exist with this storm) THE TIMELINE: THE SETUP OF THIS STORM: The storm system moving into the Region doesn’t have the average “look” to it.

More than likely the bands will set up in SW lower Michigan into La Porte County. As the … Continue reading Intense Band of Lake Effect Snow Possible Saturday

Colder air filters in Tuesday behind the front. While this air will be cold, we’ll see several reinforcing shots of even colder air arrive later in the week through early next week. These will be the real deal … Continue reading Winter Is Coming…
