We may be missing the blunt of Winter Storm Blair here and that isn’t making anyone unhappy that I’m aware of. We are stuck with the bitter cold though, no way out of that. And we are getting some lake effect snow but that isn’t going to even come close to holding a candle to Blair. That storm is looking powerful with a variety of heavy snow right on to freezing rain and sleet. Thoughts of safety to those to the south of our state but at the same time grateful for it sliding past us.

Could get a bit more snow today, tonight, perhaps tomorrow. After that, as of right now, it looks like clouds and bitter cold temperatures for us for the next week. Looks very much like the big snowstorm is going to be sliding past to the south of us. Fingers crossed that this will hold up. No way to miss the frigid temperatures though. That much we’ll be in for.

Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025-SW Michigan-New Year’s Day Snow

Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025-SW Michigan-New Year’s Day Snow

Currently 32 with an average wind from the SW of 5 mph. Feels like 28. Dew Point 30, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 100%, Visibility 2.1 mi., Sunrise 8:13 am, Sunset 5:18 pm.

70% chance of snow showers. 1-2″ possible. High in the mid 30s. W winds 5=15 mph with gusts to 25.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of evening snow showers. Low in the lower 20s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 25.

We will be getting some snow today – not a great deal of it, but enough to make the roads slippery. Look for more snow on Friday. We may luck out with this winter storm coming in over the weekend. We will for sure get the arctic cold temperatures and likely the wind, but we may be on the north side of the majority of the snow. Pretty early to tel for sure but that’s what it looks like for now. Fingers are crossed on this. In the meantime, have a safe and happy New Year’s day with the beginning of a terrific year ahead.
