The Upper Peninsula will get the brunt of a clipper system sweeping across Michigan. It is expected to make a swift exit on Thursday.

In addition to the cold, lake-effect snow that began Sunday will continue through Tuesday night, creating icy, snow-covered roadways. Between 7 a.m. Monday and 7 a.m. Tuesday, a widespread 6 inches of lake-effect snow is expected along and west of US-131, with isolated higher amounts of up to 10 inches likely in Ottawa and Allegan counties.

Extremely cold air, like the conditions we're experiencing, often holds less moisture. This means smaller and fluffier flakes, which can be blown around easily.
