Winter weather has finally arrived in Ann Arbor. Check out photos from photographers Melanie Maxwell and Joseph Tobianski from around town as the white stuff has covered the city.

A winter weather advisory is in effect until 7 a.m. Thursday. The snow will continue to move into the area through the late afternoon and evening becoming moderate to heavy at times, according to the National Weather Service. Snow will taper off in intensity and coverage after midnight.

Total snowfall is expected around 3 to 6 inches, and northeast winds 15 to 25 mph will cause blowing and drifting, reducing visibility. See updated weather forecasts on AnnArbor.com's weather page. Ann Arbor has already received two to four inches of snow, according to a meteorologist's report on MLive.com.

In addition to snarling traffic on area roadways, the winter storm also is affecting flights for holiday travelers. The Associated Press reported Wednesday evening that conditions around southeast Michigan have affected at least 189 flights at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and forcing the cancellation of at least 15.
