... Winter Weather Advisory now in effect until 11 PM EST this
evening...

The Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect until 11 PM EST this
evening.

Hazardous weather...

* 1 to 3 inches of snow had already fallen as of 4 PM across much
   of the advisory area. The exception was south of a line from
   roughly Kalamazoo to Lansing where less than an inch had
   fallen.

* Widespread snow is expected this evening. The heaviest snow
   will occur through 9 PM with visibilities below one mile. The
   snow will taper off or end completely later this evening.

* Temperatures will plunge into the 20s and teens from north to
   south through 10 PM. Wind chills will fall to zero to ten below
   zero overnight.

* All of the newly fallen snow will freeze up as temperatures
   drop tonight.

Impacts...

* icy roads and reduced visibilities leading to slide offs.

* Much slower evening commute.

* Frost bite possible late tonight if exposed to the cold long
   enough.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

* the Michigan Department of Transportation reminds motorists
   to adjust speeds based on the conditions... and to take it
   slow in ice and snow.

* Weather preparedness information is available on line at
   www.Ready.Gov/winter.
