WEST MICHIGAN — The attached snapshot is an image of our current winter weather warnings and advisories. Everything in pink represents A Winter Storm Warning for another 4″-8″ of accumulating snow through Tuesday night with considerable blowing and drifting and white-out conditions at times. Notice with a strong west wind that locations along/west of U.S. 131 will see the most snow. Most of the warnings remain in effect through 8:00 Am Tuesday.
The counties shaded in purple are under (lesser) Winter Weather Advisories until 8:00 AM Tuesday, except for Newaygo and Montcalm which expire at 8:00 PM Monday. Another 2″-4″ of snow will fall in those areas with blowing and drifting and treacherous road conditions.

Expect wind chills running at -20 to -30 in most locations, with -30 to -50 along/south of the I-94 corridor where there is no influence from Lake Michigan.
