The evening commuting becomes increasingly difficult as the snowfall speeds increase, making it difficult for the road crews to keep things clear.

There is also a chance for some gossip or ice to interfere early tonight – not a guarantee, but Detroit, Downriver and Monroe counties have the best shot.

Road herds gear up to Metro Detroit Snowstorm

As the snow approaches Metro Detroit, the herds have tried to get in front of the snow by pre -treating roads with a saline mixture. When it starts to fall, the crews will take out to clear the main roads, like I-75, before moving on to less traveled routes.

What is the next one:

We get the rest of Thursday to cloud out. Friday stays quiet but another round of snow is probably Saturday and Sunday. We dive into these details tomorrow, but expect several centimeters. Cold air will follow to start next week.
