AccuWeather projects a coating to an inch of snow to fall during trick-or-treating hours Tuesday in Grand Rapids, with little to no accumulation in Lansing, Flint, or Detroit.

WILX News 10 First Alert Meteorologist Justin Bradford is pretty sure Lansing will see its first snowflakes of the season on Halloween, but doesn't think it'll amount to much.

Some drizzle may be mixed in with the snow in a few places and it will be tough to get any snow to accumulate, but grassy surfaces, roofs or cars could start to look a little white whenever any heavier bursts come through. ~ Justin Bradford, WILX

Storm Team 8 in Grand Rapids agrees.

A cold front will sweep through bringing the chance for a wintry mix and snow throughout the day. Some snow may accumulate on grassy surfaces, but will melt quickly. Bundle up for Trick-or-Treating! It will be one of the coldest in recent years.
