Michigan Bracing for 7 Inches of Snow – When & Where
It’s officially spring, but it won’t feel like it on Friday (March 22). In Michigan, we really got lucky last winter. Temperatures were mild, even reaching 70 degrees in February, and we didn’t get much snow. So, consider this payback. One final day, Michigan is going to get pummeled with several inches of snow, and we’re talking about lower Michigan, so it’s not just an up north occurrence. Some areas of lower Michigan will get seven inches of show. Here’s where and when to expect Michigan bracing for the white stuff.
Michigan bracing for one final major snowstorm
Get ready for Friday, because that’s the day when all this snow will arrive. A snowstorm will work its way into lower Michigan starting in the morning and continuing through the afternoon. This snow, according to the National Weather Service, is expected to fall and accumulate quickly, too. So, where will most of the snow fall?
“Accumulating snow will occur in all areas on Friday with the heaviest snow occurring near and north of Interstate 96,” the NWS states. They add that four to seven inches of snow is expected in that area. “Near and south of Interstate 96 accumulations will drop off to around an inch near Interstate 94.” In other words, right now, it appears the heaviest snow will fall in Mid-Michigan, where areas could get between four to seven inches of heavy and wet snow. In Southeast Michigan, it should be closer to one to three inches. Areas such as Livingston, Oakland and Macomb counties should be closer to three inches, with Wayne and Washentaw down to as little as one inch. The timing of the show is between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and it will be cold enough to stick. You might have to shovel this weekend. I’m not happy about that all. By Monday (March 25), temperatures should be back into the 50s, so if you can hold off, the snow should melt by then. I’m so not happy about this. Give me swimsuit season, already.
Unfiltered Parent Reactions to 'Snow Days' and 'Weather Days'
Time Out!
One parent took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to give a Snow Day update. She discovered a new way to give time-outs. One that includes a timer and pure silence. “Snow day update: my kids are both in a 30-minute time out. Any time I hear a noise from either of their rooms I reset the timer [laughing emoji]”, she

Wake Up Call!
Many parents share the same frustration when it comes to snow day alerts from the school district. They come in many forms, from text messages to automated calls. This sometimes happens at the crack of dawn. This person was less than thrilled by their wake-up call. They
Dear school district,

Underwhelming Forecast
There’s always one post saying, “The weather isn’t that bad.” This is the case for this poster, who was less than impressed by the amount of snow they actually got versus the amount they expected. They
Another snow day for the kids tomorrow. 6th snow day in a row, 11th straight day off from school, including weekends.

Today’s high is 44°. Tomorrow will be 49°. Ain’t enough yoga or alcohol to get me through this [laughing emoji].”

Work From Home, But With Kids
One exhausted parent went to social media to talk about the woes of working from home on a snow day with their kid. Apparently, emailing your clients isn’t the easiest with a very busy kid at home. They decided to give their followers an example of an email. They

Student Drop Off
When school is canceled due to weather, some parents wish they could just drop their kids off at their teacher’s house. Someone decided to dig through a teacher’s profile to find their address. They

What Day Is It?
With so many snow days for some schools, many parents simply lose track of what day it is. Is it Monday, or is it Friday? “It’s January 73rd, and my kids have only had nine days of school this month with another snow day today. Send help,” someone

At this point, just roll with it. Someone will say the correct date eventually.
