Weather caused school closings and delays in Southeast Michigan. In Monroe County, icy roads led to later start times or closures. Affected schools included Bedford Public Schools, Ida Public Schools, Monroe Public Schools, MCISD Ed Ctr/Trans Ctr, Lenawee Christian, and Triumph Academy, according to CBS News Detroit.
FOX 2 Detroit reported that not all schools and businesses closed for the snow. Some delayed opening by two hours to allow time for road clearing. Roads were still dangerous, and the Michigan Department of Transportation reported several accidents on freeways. Road crews were spreading salt to reduce icy conditions. The forecast said the light snow that fell overnight was expected to stop by the afternoon.
A winter storm warning is in effect for Ottawa, Muskegon, and Oceana counties due to lake-effect snow. Grand Haven reported up to 5 inches of snow, with 6–12 inches possible in some areas. School closures on Tuesday are likely, with Muskegon and Oceana counties having a very high chance and Grand Haven and Spring Lake a moderate chance, depending on the snowband’s movement. The heaviest snow is expected along the lakeshore, with interior areas less affected. Additional snow may occur on Wednesday night into Thursday, as per WOODTV.
