Winter weather is on its way to Metro Detroit and people are preparing for the snow. School closings and delays are a major concern as the snow is set to arrive by the time we wake up tomorrow morning.
Wayne and Monroe Counties to See Snow First
According to the track of the storm, both Monroe and Wayne counties will be the first to see snow. It is expected to be a substantial snowfall, with up to eight inches of accumulation. The snowfall will be accompanied by wind, which can cause extra headaches and lead to sizable snowdrifts.
Road Crews Preparing
Road commissions and county public services are operating under the assumption that there will be a substantial snowfall and they have begun to prepare. Crews will start arriving at two am to begin pre-salting and they may need to be called in earlier depending on when the snow starts to fall and if there is any accumulation.
Conclusion
It will be a multi-day event as the snow will take a while to clear. Road crews are hoping that the salt will be effective and that the snow won’t be too deep to drive through residential areas. People are advised to keep an eye on the forecast and be prepared for the snow to arrive.
