Snow and temperatures fall overnight around Ann Arbor
Previous story: Updated forecast: Bulk of snow will hit Ann Arbor on Friday
Forecasters called for snow overnight Thursday, and they were right: Many in the Ann Arbor area woke up Friday morning to a ground covering.
What's unclear so far is whether the snow total will end up reaching the 4 inches forecast as possible outcome from the snowfall.

Washtenaw County Road Commission trucks were scheduled to salt highways.
And, just in case the sight of snow gets the kids excited about a potential day off, no school closings have been reported in Washtenaw County.
Meanwhile, it's also a lot colder than we're used to after the recent balmy weather: The morning temperature was 19 and the high will reach 27.
The snow is affecting much of the state. According to the Associated Press, the National Weather Service says winter storm warnings were in effect Friday for much of the western Lower Peninsula along Lake Michigan and the northwestern Upper Peninsula along Lake Superior.

SO, what's the big deal with the snow? It's winter in MI. Get over it.

Sounds like someone needs to stay inside and "Bake Cookies."

"Washtenaw County Road Commission trucks were scheduled to salt highways." But as of 8:15 am, it looks like they forgot to do it.

I like it, too! It's from a previous year, but I thought it made the snow look like fun - and full of possibilities, if we get a few more inches.
