Detroit gonna avoid the slot and stay in the pivot? Gonna be close for the east side.

None of the models seem to bring dry slotting that far NW, although a transition back to rain/mix is still plausible for the east side (see Owensnow's report above).

This is probably the most intense storm I've seen in awhile. Heavy bands with legit wind. It's top shelf nasty out. 

Gotta say, I am jealous, even if there may not be big dog snow totals.

Those returns marked the end of the snow for me.  Wind came up after that and wham, back to rain.  Models nailed it.  No snow here again till after 9PM now according to most.  The riverfront areas of MI look to end up the same way?

Very strongly worded special weather statement from DTX

Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
610 PM EST Fri Mar 3 2023

MIZ060>063-068>070-075-076-082-083-040200-
Shiawassee-Genesee-Lapeer-St. Clair-Livingston-Oakland-Macomb-

Including the cities of Owosso, Flint, Lapeer, Port Huron,

610 PM EST Fri Mar 3 2023

...TREACHEROUS TO NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TRAVEL CONDITIONS THROUGH LATE
THIS EVENING FROM THE I-69 CORRIDOR SOUTH TO THE OHIO BORDER...

WEATHER...

 * Periods of heavy, wet snowfall will continue through 9 PM
   across widespread areas from the I-69 corridor south to the
   Ohio border, including all of the Detroit metro region, Ann
   Arbor, Flint, and surrounding areas. Sporadic blizzard
   conditions will be possible through 9 PM resulting in
   treacherous to near impossible travel conditions on all
   roadways, whether treated or untreated.

 * Hourly snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour will be
   common, with localized areas seeing hourly snowfall rates
   potentially approaching 3 inches per hour. Additionally,
   thundersnow will be possible along with a rogue lightning
   strike as bands of intense snowfall move south to north from
   the Ohio border across the Detroit metro region and up towards
   the I-69 corridor.

 * Quick heavy, wet snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches will be
   possible through 9 PM, with locally higher amounts possible.
   There remains a low chance of rain mixing in at times near the
   Ohio border, which may cut down on snow totals primarily south
   of M-50.

 * Air temperatures will generally hover around the freezing mark.
   Despite air temperatures around freezing, rapid snowfall
   accumulation will allow for very efficient accumulation on area
   roadways.

 * Widespread visibilities below 1/2 mile will be common through 9
   PM, with whiteout conditions likely at times due to gusty
   northeast winds as high as 35 to 45 mph at times. Blowing snow
   will be minimal due to the wet character of the snow, but
   downed limbs and trees that have already experienced heavy load
   from the recent ice storm may lead to increased hazards on
   area roadways.

IMPACTS...

 * Sporadic blizzard conditions are likely due to the combination
   of heavy accumulating snow, near whiteout conditions at times,
   and gusty winds up to 35-45 mph at times.

&&

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

 * Treacherous to impossible travel is likely. Travel is not
   advised.

 * Prepare, plan and stay informed. Visit http://go.usa.gov/c7kkP
