Storm update: Snow expected to end Sunday, but here comes the cold

We're tracking power outages, snowfall totals, snow emergencies and other storm-related news as it develops throughout the day. Here's what we know now.

Updated 8:45 p.m.

LANSING — The Lansing area remains under a winter weather advisory until noon Sunday, with more snow and frigid temperatures expected on the tail end of a storm system that dumped the season's first significant snow.

Snow is likely to continue to fall through the early part of Sunday with Saturday night lake effect expected snowfall expected to drop 6 to 12 inches of snow in the Muskegon, Holland and Grand Rapids area. Ingham and Eaton counties were expected to get as much as 3 inches overnight into Sunday and possibly another 2 inches Sunday, the NWS said.

Gusts blowing up to 40 mph with a more regular breeze of around 20 miles an hour are expected today

Clinton County is expected to see slightly higher snowfall by tonight, potentially another 6 inches, according to the NWS winter weather advisory.

One of the key risks will be the cold: Sunday's high is expected to be 16 degrees with wind chills of 6 degrees below zero. Overnight wind chills could drop to 15 degrees below zero overnight into Monday. The whole work week is expected to be below freezing, with Monday and Tuesday temperatures in the single digits, warming a bit mid-week and dropping back to the high teens by Friday.

The cold and the snow came abruptly, after a fairly mild winter so far and people should expect to have a full week of cold air and occasional flurries, along with ice patches and risky roads, said Bob Dukesherer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Grand Rapids office, which serves the Lansing area.

"It's going to be a cold week, he said, "this has been shock to the system, given what it has been."

Lansing declares snow emergency

Updated 11:45 a.m. Saturday

The city of Lansing has declared a snow emergency, level 2, meaning street parking downtown is prohibited from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. Parking on on other streets during all hours is not allowed for the rest of Lansing until streets are fully plowed. Streets that have been plowed - "for the entirety of the block on both sides" - following the snow emergency declaration get a waiver and people can park on those plowed streets.

The snow emergency will stay in effect until it is lifted by the city. The city has a snow ordinance requiring people to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours of the stop of snow. The ordinance is technically in effect during the weekend but "enforcement is typically only done during normal business hours," according to a guide by the city. People who are cited after 24 hours get another 24 hours to comply before the city sends them the bill.

Lansing has also declared a "Code Blue" emergency plan, which gives shelters more leeway in accepting people and opens some buildings as temporary shelters.
