As of 6am, had about 2" in S. central Mich. (low end of forecast for MBY). At my work office 30 miles west in K'zoo, about 6". Looks really nice and wintery for a change! :santa:

Highest official total I've seen in Lower Michigan is from Gaylord NWS offices up north:

There's a nice band currently at 2:30 p.m. ET from north of Muskegon all the way se to the Defiance Ohio area which I presume will slowly drift southwestward over time. Light to moderate steady snow has continued here at my location in Dunlap with NWS reporting that currently 6-8 inches of snow has fallen from South Bend eastward to LaGrange in various locations. More to come.
