Mid-Michigan Snow Totals: Town-by-Town Predictions for Jan. 18-20

Some forecasters believe that parts of Mid-Michigan could see as much as 10" of snow by Tuesday. Others think that while the entire area is likely to see accumulating snow, it won't be quite that much.

Nearly all of Lower Michigan is under either a Winter Weather Advisory or Winter Storm Warning from late Sunday evening through Tuesday morning. The counties under the Winter Storm Warnings are generally those closest to Lake Michigan. Less snow is expected further inland into Mid-Michigan and The Thumb, hence the Winter Weather Advisories instead.
